“In recognition of this book’s value as the English-language personal memoir of a volunteer recruit deployed to the frontlines of the current Russian-Ukrainian war.”
The story of Senior Lieutenant Illya Titko’s service in one of Ukraine’s motorized infantry brigades, conveys what it’s like to go to war, and how to find the strength to live with the emotions and memories that haunt you. The book’s value lies in its mission to help all of us to understand the experiences of the people, the country, and the individuals who, like Illya Titko, followed the path of defending their country.
