'Elegant and terrifying the story of those who gave up life in the West for Ukraine's
frontlines - some to save democracy some to save themselves. A modern-day Homage to Catalonia
- and Fight Club on steroids.' - Oliver Poole London Standard 'A great read' - Mark Galeotti
With real-life echoes of SAS Rogue Heroes - this is an astonishing account of Europe's biggest
major conflict told through the eyes of a ragbag collection of foreign fighters Three days
after Russian tanks roll into Ukraine President Volodymr Zelensky issues a desperate appeal
for foreign military volunteers to help defend his country. Thousands answer the call from all
over the world: some of them experienced soldiers others novices who've never held a gun
before. Among their ranks are high-minded idealists adventure-seekers bored with civilian life
and ex-criminals seeking redemption - all risking their lives against the world's most vicious
superpower. Some flee at the first sign of trouble others become heroes many are killed and
a few turn their guns on each other. This is their story - often terrifying often tragic
sometimes comic and sometimes glorious...
