Journalist and war correspondent Tom Mutch joins the LitWar Podcast. From the halls of British Parliament to the front lines of Ukraine, Mutch has reported where history is being made. His new book, Dogs of Mariupol, chronicles the early days of Russia’s invasion and the extraordinary civilians—lawyers, professors, bodyguards, neighbors—who risked everything to defend their country.
This episode dives into the heroism and tragedy witnessed up close: a young couple who left their law firm to fight in Donbas, a philosophy professor turned sniper, and the ethical tightrope journalists walk between storytelling and voyeurism. We explore how myths of war form in real time, how ordinary lives become extraordinary, and the weight of recording history as it unfolds.
