Moving and shaking in a way that links it with the works of Solzhenitsyn
Times Literary Supplement
Superb... One of the most frightful exposures yet of human iniquity
Anthony Burgess
Not just a great book, but a valuable document
New Yorker
Absolutely stunning. A raw, devastating account of one of the greatest tragedies of WW2. Babi Yar provides a painfully intimate look at life during the Nazi occupation in Ukraine through the eyes of one resilient young boy. Told in poetic yet unflinching prose, this compelling book should be necessary reading for anyone looking to not only understand Ukrainian history, but humanity
Erin Litteken
Babi Yar is one of the classic accounts of life under Nazi rule in occupied Europe and a depiction of man's inhumanity to man... [a] masterpiece
Henry Marsh, New Statesman
A masterpiece . . . Every bit the peer of the canonical works of witness [such as] Anne Frank's diary . . . Wiesel's Night . . . Solzhenityn's Gulag Archipelago
George Packer, The Atlantic
Read it and weep... Nothing I have read about that barbaric time has been as affecting as this gripping, disturbing book - rightly hailed a masterpiece
Tony Rennell, Daily Mail
By the end of this raw, direct, meticulously assembled collection of testimony, there is no choice but to recognize, and to bow before, the assertion of its opening sentence: "This book contains nothing but the truth"
Wall Street Journal
A rediscovered masterpiece that must be read and never forgotten
Arts Desk
Rightly hailed as a masterpiece. In its intimacy, imagery and immediacy, it leaves you despairing that such terrible atrocities were actually committed… Read it and weep
Daily Mail, *Books of the Year*
