About the Book: Ukrainian history is complex and very vast, encompassing a very great part of Europe’s Eastern flank. Many a familiar title, and name gets brought up in all those battles, struggles, incredible, and unlikely victories in Ukraine’s history, as they fought to be and remain a sovereign nation.
My Opinion: Silver lining, if faded by the events that brought it up, is that my love for history is truly getting satisfied, as this is the only way I feel anywhat useful. Ukraine has a strange, and in some aspects even unique history. Not all is shiny and pure, but all of our histories at some point, without exception, are covered in blood of others. I highly recommend this book. From the start of it all, to Euromaidan.
