Our Enemies Will Vanish – Yaroslav Trofimov (Hardcover, 2024)

Our Enemies Will Vanish is a gripping, eyewitness memoir by Yaroslav Trofimov, the Wall Street Journal’s chief foreign-affairs correspondent. Drawing from months spent on the front lines during the Russian invasion, Trofimov blends emotional human stories with sharp military analysis. From the Siege of Kyiv to the battle for Bakhmut, he vividly recounts how ordinary Ukrainians—doctors, teachers, businesspeople—rose in defiance of one of history’s greatest military powers. This profoundly moving narrative, called “a great novel of war reportage” by The Economist and lauded for its visceral clarity, is both a meticulous chronicle of resistance and a tribute to resilience.
