Bol Vivid reportage from a war between two ancient peoples caught up in great power interests and clashing narratives of home. ‘Thoughtful, considered and understated . . . a fine book telling a story that needed to be told. . . Gavin deserves a lot of credit for threading together the lives of civilians on both sides in this humane account.’ — The Times Chosen as an Irish Examiner Book of the Year On 19 September 2023, war broke out once again in Nagorno-Karabakh, a tiny breakaway state nestled in the mountains at the very edge of Europe. This geopolitical hotspot had been fought over since the Soviet Union fell, with tens of thousands dead and up to a million homeless. This time, though, was different. Within 24 hours, Armenian forces surrendered to Azerbaijan, as Russian peacekeepers abandoned post--and the entire population packed their bags to flee. Through the stories of ordinary Armenians and Azerbaijanis, Gabriel Gavin chronicles how Nagorno-Karabakh went from an ancient home shared by both peoples to a battle-scarred land of empty houses and untended graves. Ashes of Our Fathers reveals a simmering ethnic conflict inside the Kremlin's self-declared sphere of influence; the lives and loyalties of the people caught up in the chaos; and the decisions, from Yerevan and Baku to Moscow and Washington to Tel Aviv and Tehran, that enabled one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of the 2020s. Tells the story of the ordinary Armenians and Azerbaijanis in Nagorno–Karabakh as their contested homeland erupted in a violent conflict in autumn 2023, leaving tens of thousands dead and as many as a million homeless A case study of modern warfare in Post-Soviet states and the ongoing role Russia plays in its sphere of influence. Vivid reportage from a war between two ancient peoples caught up in great power interests and clashing narratives of home.
