AwardShortlisted for the New York Public Library's Helen Bernstein Excellence in Journalism
AwardShortlisted for the 2017 Moore Prize for Non-Fiction Literature In May of 2012  Janine di
Giovanni travelled to Syria  marking the beginning of a long relationship with the country  as
she began reporting from both sides of the conflict  witnessing its descent into one of the
most brutal  internecine conflicts in recent history. Drawn to the stories of ordinary people
caught up in the fighting  Syria came to consume her every moment  her every emotion.Speaking
to those directly involved in the war  di Giovanni relays the personal stories of rebel
fighters thrown in jail at the least provocation  of children and families forced to watch
loved ones taken and killed by regime forces with dubious justifications  and the stories of
the elite  holding pool parties in Damascus hotels  trying to deny the human consequences of
the nearby shelling.Delivered with passion  fearlessness and sensitivity  The Morning They Came
for Us is an unflinching account of a nation on the brink of disintegration  charting an
apocalyptic but at times tender story of life in a jihadist war - and an unforgettable
testament to human resilience in the face of devastating  unimaginable horrors.
