NAMED A "TOP PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK OF THE YEAR" by PICTURES OF THE YEAR INTERNATIONAL • AWARDED SECOND PLACE in "BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR" BY 2023 INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS


“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

Stunning collection of images from some of the most respected photojournalists of our time:
  • Carol Guzy, four-time Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist
  • Lynsey Addario, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist and New York Times bestselling author 
  • Paula Bronstein, award-winning photojournalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist 
  • Justyna Mielnikiewicz, award-winning photojournalist
  • Svet Jacqueline, award-winning photojournalist
  • and 20+ other world-renowned photojournalists

Moving essays, published in both English and Ukrainian, by:
  • Foreword by the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova. Markarova provides an overview of how this war has shaken her country and what democracy and freedom mean to her people.
  • Award-winning Ukrainian author Andrey Kurkov. Ukraine's most famous living writer, Kurkov provides an emotional, heartfelt reflection on what's happening to his country in relation to the pictures displayed in the book.
  • Pulitzer Prize winner and personal photographer to President Gerald Ford, David Hume Kennerly. Kennerly speaks to the emotional and physical risk photojournalists take in covering war alongside their mission to show truth.

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.

“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

“Chronicled by photojournalists on the front lines of history, this stunning collection of images reverberates with the devastation, suffering and loss wrought by war. This book reminds us of humankind’s capacity for intolerable cruelty and infinite compassion. It speaks to our shared humanity—and what’s at stake when free people come under attack.” 
-Kent Kobersteen, former director of photography, National Geographic magazine

"Now, a highly-anticipated book is offering a reminder: Don’t forget about the war or the Ukrainian people."
-theSkimm

“A collection of images capturing the humanity and horror of the war … It is something remarkable.”
-Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports”

“Telling the war in an honest and deep way, without the need to show sensational photos of blood and death. These authors were able to tell the war in a sincere way.”
-Daria Bonera, 2023 International Photography Awards juror
