Frontline Stories from Ukraine's International Legion

Produktbeschreibung

This book is Black Hawk Down meets Enemy at the Gates meets Band of Brothers, and it's all true. It tells the story of what happens when careless Western politicians assume we're living the 'end of history', until it turns out that the Great Game is back, uglier and more callous than ever before. It's the story of the men who tried to fix those mistakes, at the riskand sometimes lossof their lives.

Shannon Monaghan follows a core group of Western volunteers in Ukraine, fighting together from the early days of the battle for Kyiv through to the last stands at Severodonetsk and Bakhmut. They arrived alone, but formed a familyback when nobody bothered to learn names, because they all expected to die. One of them was among the last men to leave the city of Bakhmut in the final days of May 2022.

These men knew very well that they'd be fighting without the NATO support they were used to. They knew the severe risks they would run, and the potential criticism they would face for fighting someone else's war. But they also knew it was the right thing to do. This is their story.
