“What happened to Ukraine after Moscow’s invasion? Look no further. The photographs in this book are by some of the world’s best photographers, and provide an unflinching look at the hell wrought by Russia. This is extraordinary and vital work.” —Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Hume Kennerly

As Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy said in his address to U.S. Congress, Russia “went on a brutal offensive against our values, basic human values. It threw tanks and planes against our freedom, against our right to live freely in our own country, choosing our own future, against our desire for happiness, against our national dreams, just like the same dreams you have, you Americans.” Relentless Courage delivers a gripping, visual portfolio of images that remind us of our shared humanity, what is right, and what’s at stake when independence and freedom come under attack.
