Christopher Miller is a writer and journalist based in Kyiv, Ukraine and Brooklyn, New York. Since 2022 he has been lead correspondent in Ukraine for the Financial Times. He was previously a reporter for POLITICO and a Ukraine correspondent for BuzzFeed News.As editor at the Kyiv Post, he was part of the team that won the Missouri Honor Medal Winner for Distinguished Service in Journalism for coverage of the Euromaidan Revolution, Russia's annexation of Crimea and the war in eastern Ukraine.

A beautiful blend of memoir, reportage and history...superb: a pulsing, immersive narrative of boots-on-the-ground reporting. The War Came To Us is an important book, and a testament to the importance of quality journalism. Miller is dogged in his reporting, and a fine writer. He has the right amounts of courage, intellectual honesty, chutzpah, self-effacing humour and talent, reminding this reader of AJ Liebling’s superlative collection of second World War writings.
