From bestselling author of 'Balcony Over Jerusalem' comes a deeper look at the Ukraine conflict through talks with everyday Ukrainians.
As Ukraine's long-term future captures the focus of global leaders, veteran journalist and ABC Global Affairs Editor John Lyons takes readers into the heart of a nation under siege. He interviews Ukrainians who stand tall in the face of an increasingly brutal conflict and an uncertain future. These are the stories of ordinary civilians making extraordinary contributions, determined to fight back in every way possible to ensure the survival of themselves, their families, and the soul of their nation.
