Once in a decade comes an account of war that promises to be a classic.
Doing for Syria what Imperial Life in the Emerald City did for the war in Iraq, The Morning They Came for Us bears witness to one of the most brutal, internecine conflicts in recent history. Drawing from years of experience covering Syria for Vanity Fair, Newsweek, and the front pages of the New York Times, award-winning journalist Janine di Giovanni gives us a tour de force of war reportage, all told through the perspective of ordinary people―among them a doctor, a nun, a musician, and a student. What emerges is an extraordinary picture of the devastating human consequences of armed conflict, one that charts an apocalyptic but at times tender story of life in a jihadist war zone. Recalling celebrated works by Ryszard Kapus�cin�ski, Philip Gourevitch, and Anne Applebaum, The Morning They Came for Us, through its unflinching account of a nation on the brink of disintegration, becomes an unforgettable testament to resilience in the face of nihilistic human debasement. 30 illustrations- Sales Rank: #50844 in Books

Review
“Devastating . . . . �Like the work of the Belarussian Nobel laureate�Svetlana Alexievich, Ms. di Giovanni’s book gives voice to ordinary people living through a dark time in history; and like Anthony Shadid’s powerful 2005 book, Night Draws Near (which recounted the aftermath of the American invasion of Iraq), it chronicles the intimate fallout that war has on women, children and families. A longtime reporter who covered the wars in Bosnia, Chechnya and Sierra Leone, Ms. di Giovanni writes here with urgency and anguish ― determined to testify to what she has witnessed because she wants ‘people never to forget.’ . . . . Her testimony is contained here in this searing and necessary book.” (Michiko Kakutani - New York Times)
“Necessary, difficult and elating. [Di Giovanni’s] reporting from the Syrian revolution and war is clear-eyed and engaged in the best sense – engaged in the human realm rather than the abstractly political. . . . Such reporters as Giovanni, who not only visit but also live (and often die) through wars not their own, are heroic. These are the Marie Colvins, Paul Conroys, Ali Mustafas of journalism, reporters motivated by commitment to the act of witnessing.” (Robin Yassin-Kassab - The Guardian)
“Di Giovanni's work, informed by her extensive experience as a journalist, shows a keen ability to capture violent conflicts from multiple sides…This book, haunted by the international failure to intervene effectively, gives readers an on-the-ground experience of the devastating seasons that followed the promise of the Arab Spring…[Di Giovanni] makes its reality fully tangible and tragic.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))
“With a potent mix of sensitivity and outrage, Di Giovanni relates firsthand accounts of deprivation and suffering from the people caught up in the conflict…[T]heir stories reveal in harrowing detail the horrific nature of the war. The expert perspective of this seasoned war correspondent proves invaluable to understanding Syria today.” (Booklist (starred review))
“[Di Giovanni] is a master of war reporting, especially its civilian side. Thanks to her bitter sacrifice, Western readers may begin to appreciate the chaos that Syrian refugees continue to flee. This brilliant, necessary book will hopefully do for Syria what Herr's Dispatches (1977) did for Vietnam.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))
“Di Giovanni presents a devastating picture of the horrors of civil war and the disintegration of Syrian society.” (Elizabeth Hayford - Library Journal)
“It is crucial to reveal the human stories behind the news – and in The Morning They Came for Us,�Janine di Giovanni does this with heartbreaking eloquence…Her account of Syria is a testimony to the power of empathy, conscience and understanding.” (Elif Shafak - Financial Times)

The universal suffering of war
By Jonathan Boyce
These dispatches from 2012 remind us that while war is waged collectively, on whole populations, suffering is on an individual level, felt by each and every person. In this respect, this book is as much about all war as it is the civil war in Syria.Torture,death, maiming, injury are parts of all wars, but the suffering visits each one by one, and is endured individually. Identities are destroyed by war, which this book so graphically illustrates. The writer's accomplishment here that she has made this so clear.
I've been involved in humanitarian and human rights work for decades, and worked with torture victims from the Bosnian war. However, the graphic descriptions of torture here are harrowing and difficult to read, and the suffering of the victims difficult to comprehend. Torture can be justified for any reason in the minds of those who use it. This is made clear by the comments of the perpetrators here. In this respect as well, this book is about the use of torture throughout history; the motives are the same, the victims dehumanized, their suffering justified. It winds together the human capacity to justify torture, and war, and to rationalized its use: from early human history to the Nazis to the Khmer Rouge to the Russian gulags to our own country's use by the Bush administration, its use is always justified in the minds of the torturers.
Also, in this and other ways, this book shows how the fabric of society--the collective experience of whole populations--breaks down and becomes fragmented in war. Like in Bosnia, these Syrian people who once identified as "Syrian" broke down into smaller tribes and factions. War destroys commonalities and can make neighbors and relatives enemies.
Last, what further makes this such a painful read is that the Syrian war is ongoing--still going strong and mercilessly. For those who are surviving through it, their suffering continues day after day, by each and every one.

COURAGEOUS, HEARTFELT and DEVASTATINGLY realized testimony of those remaining in Assad's Annihilated Syria
By Qanta Ahmed
Dear Janine Di Giovanni- congratulations on your book ' The Morning They Came For Us'. I finished it in one sitting, unable to stop turning the pages. It is the ONLY book where I have read ALL the materials after the end- the epilogue and the chilling appendices. Your ability to see both beauty and brutality in the setting of mankind's worst inhumanity is remarkable. As a physician I was especially touched by the plight of doctor's whether tending to the civilian victims or the instruments of the regime. As a writer I was moved by your suffering bearing witness to the unbearable. As a woman without children I was deeply affected by how children touched you- their feeble slippers 'on icy mud' and their 'purple toes', their silent eyes, their protests at leaving for the bread queue, their astonishment at being shot at my young soldiers or finding themselves seat belted next to a murdered sibling. As a MUSLIM, I am heartbroken to know the detail of such suffering of MUSLIMS at the hands of MUSLIMS in such gruesome and evocative testimony. As a naturalized American and as a native born British citizen I am most sickened by our inaction in the face of what I accurately or inaccurately perceive as genocide which is approaching unthinkable dimensions at a rapid velocity. This I find to be the greatest inhumanity of all - the disregard and indifference of the elite world which now harbors such animus towards MUSLIMS that only Christian refugees are welcomed by political populism in the West that only Yazidis elicit the empathy every displaced dismembered and decimated Syrian family deserves. And this apart the incredible disregard for full MILLIONS of displaced and dispossessed. I feel, and deeply sense in the public dismantling of Syria, we are witnessing our own dismemberment as the human race, our own descent into civilizational decay and our own inexorable advance to a new and escalating global decline which we have authored by our very own hand. Your words, your experiences are invaluable but I understand come at a devastating price for you and your family. We are indebted to you for your courage and heart and fortitudes. We are indebted to your family for your sacrifices. For this and for so much else, I salute you. Qanta Ahmed MD, Author, " In the Land of Invisible Women.

Pretty Intense Book!!!
By MartyMcFly
I am not finished with it yet but it is pretty intense so far. Somewhat disturbing in parts but that is what it is all about. Gives you a good feel for what is really happening in the middle east for the western folks who haven't got a clue.
