“This superbly produced book is a living testament to the wartime experience of the Ukrainian people, now into the third year of defending their homeland. Newspaper, TV and online reports tell only so much, this book brings the human experience alive in the most powerful and memorable way. A brilliant achievement and hugely recommended.” — Stephen Fry, british actor and writer about the third volume.
This war is so much about history and people’s minds. Join us in our efforts to tell the story of the resistance of people in Ukraine, help people around the world to understand what is happening, and not let the propaganda write the history.
