Now updated in paperback with a new foreword and never-before-seen photographs, The War Came to Us is Christopher Miller's journalist breathtaking exploration of Ukraine's past, present, and future, and a heartbreaking account of the war against Russia.
A beautiful blend of memoir, reportage and history... The War Came To Us is an important book, and a testament to the importance of quality journalism.--Irish Times When Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine just before dawn on 24 February 2022, it marked his latest and most overt attempt to brutally conquer the country, and reshaped the world order. Christopher Miller, the Ukraine correspondent for the Financial Times and a foremost journalist covering the country, was there on the ground when the first Russian missiles struck and troops stormed over the border. But the seeds of Russia's war against Ukraine and the West were sown more than a decade earlier. This is the definitive, inside story of its long fight for freedom. Told through Miller's personal experiences, vivid front-line dispatches and illuminating interviews with unforgettable characters, The War Came To Us takes readers on a riveting journey through the key locales and pivotal events of Ukraine's modern history. From the coal-dusted, sunflower-covered steppe of the Donbas in the far east to the heart of the Euromaidan revolution camp in Kyiv; from the Black Sea shores of Crimea, where Russian troops stealthily annexed Ukraine's peninsula, to the bloody battlefields where Cossacks roamed before the Kremlin's warlords ruled with iron fists; and through the horror and destruction wrought by Russian forces in Bucha, Bakhmut, Mariupol, and beyond. With candor, wit and sensitivity, Miller captures Ukraine in all its glory: vast, defiant, resilient, and full of wonder. A breathtaking narrative that is at times both poignant and inspiring, The War Came To Us is the story of an American who fell in love with a foreign place and its people - and witnessed them do extraordinary things to escape the long shadow of their former imperial ruler and preserve their independence. This updated paperback edition features a new foreword from the author reflecting on the conflict and never-before-seen photographs.
FISH (fulfilment, inspiration, success, and happiness) is almost a side effect of running a successful Strengths-Based Practice - you don't pursue FISH, you experience it by getting lost in your purpose, finding inspiration everywhere you look, celebrating achievements, and feeling deeply grateful and happy for everything in your life.
Leading a Strengths-Based Practice takes courage, but the rewards are infinite.
If you are:
- an independent strengths coach or facilitator,
- considering making the leap into self-employment,
- or you are an established practice owner with a curiosity about a strengths-based approach, this book is for you.
With practical guidance on how to set up the foundations of your practice, and specific strategies to leverage a practice owner's strengths in marketing, selling and client delivery, the content of this book will enhance both your client impact AND your discipline to build a financially resilient practice.
At its heart, Finding FISH in a Strengths-Based Practice identifies strategies and tools you can use to leverage the talent in a small organisation so that the practice owner and their team experience fulfilment, inspiration, success, and happiness on their own terms.
My name is Christopher Miller, the view I happen to have is a view from a wheelchair. I live with spastic cerebral palsy which affects my mobility and speech. I believe that people with disabilities need to be involved in the political process. I just happen to have A View from a Seat. My journey through life is one with hills, valleys, curves, and a lot of speed bumps. Everybody's role in life is important no matter the outlook you may have whether on wheels or not. Come along with me as I become a leader and a voice for the disability community through my view from a seat.
What if the life you have is already more than enough?
Our relentless pursuit of 'more' never seems to reach 'enough'. Rather than joining the line of books trying to change your life, The Joy of Finding FISH offers the belief that the life you have is already enough. The secret to a more fulfilling, inspiring, successful and happy life is the realisation that it is about being those things, rather than chasing them.
Filled with strategies to create your purpose, live your values, and pursue your Greatest Imaginable Challenge, The Joy of Finding FISH offers insight and inspiration to grow in a way that is personal to you.
Each chapter is rich with stories, swimming through topics such as resilience, embracing courage, celebrating achievements, exploring gratitude, and integrating your life roles in the pursuit of FISH.
In the midst of his own personal trauma, Christopher Miller shares his wisdom with deep love and honesty. His words offer hope grounded in reality, and demonstrate the joy that comes from living a life well-lived.
THIS IS JESUS CHRIST'S LAST MESSAGE TO HUMANITY BEFORE HIS ARRIVAL ON THE EARTH.
As this is a book about Jesus, most of us will already have a pretty good idea about what we think and feel on this subject. Our knowledge may come simply from what we have heard or read as we pass through a society that is filled with information about him, or we may have studied the bible in depth. Most of us will be somewhere in between, but all of us will have a feeling we know about him.
In truth, even if we have a scholar's knowledge of the bible it will be unique. Even among Christians, each and every one of the billions of Christians will have a different sum of understanding about God and Jesus. This is the nature of human life.
The SMALL SCROLL is written so that if you knew nothing about Jesus Christ when you started, by the end you would know the heart of the bible, you would know all you need to know.
American Cornball is Christopher Miller's irresistibly funny illustrated survey of popular humor--the topics that used to make us laugh, from hiccups and henpecked-husbands to outhouses and old maids--and what it tells us about our country yesterday and today.
Miller revisits nearly 200 comic staples that have been passed down through our culture for generations, many originating from the vaudeville age. He explores the (often unseemly) contexts from which they arose, why they were funny in their time, and why they eventually lost their appeal. The result is a kind of taxonomy of humor during America's golden age that provides a deeper, more profound look at the prejudices, preoccupations, and peculiarities of a nation polarized between urban and rural, black and white, highborn and lowbrow.
As he touches on issues of racism and sexism, cultural stereotypes and violence, Miller reveals how dramatically our moral sensibilities have shifted, most notably in the last few decades. Complete with more than 100 period illustrations, American Cornball is a richly entertaining survey of our shifting comic universe.

Written as liner notes to fictional music, Christopher Miller's uproarious debut novel skewers conventions in a work of high entertainment and imagination. In Sudden Noises from Inanimate Objects, the complete works of the prodigiously cranky composer Simon Silber get their diablolical due from Silber's official biographer -- a man who grows to hate his subject. Not content with simply discussing Silber's odd musical oeuvre -- whose highlights include an hourlong performance of the Minute Waltz, an etude composed on a telephone keypad, and a transcription of crow caws -- the commentator veers into a delightfully venomous exposé of a musician whose grandiose ambitions far exceed his actual talent.
Genius or fraud? Hack or Hemingway? The life and work of obese, obsessive, logorrheic pulp novelist Phoebus K. Dank have long enflamed bitter controversy--and numerous drunken rants often culminating in vomiting, unconsciousness, or both. In this uproarious novel, Christopher Miller pulls back the curtain on two unforgettable critics--fawning scholar William Boswell (the world's leading Dankian) and his mortal enemy, the murderously snarky Owen Hirt. No stone is left unturned--and no gooey mess unstepped in--in this essential study of Dank's all-too-brief existence and all-too-extensive oeuvre.
In a time of great need for Britain, a small coterie of influential businessmen gained access to secret information on industrial mobilisation as advisers to the Principal Supply Officers Committee. They provided the state with priceless advice, but, as insiders utilised their access to information to build a business empire at a fraction of the normal costs. Outsiders, in contrast, lacked influence and were forced together into a defensive ring - or cartel - which effectively fixed prices for British warships. By the 1930s, the cartel grew into one of the most sophisticated profiteering groups of its day.
This book examines the relationship between the private naval armaments industry, businessmen, and the British government defence planners between the wars. It reassesses the concept of the military-industrial complex through the impact of disarmament upon private industry, the role of leading industrialists in supply and procurement policy, and the successes and failings of government organisation. It blends together political, naval, and business history in new ways, and, by situating the business activities of industrialists alongside their work as government advisors, sheds new light on the operation of the British state.
This is the story of how these men profited while effectively saving the National Government from itself.
