NEWLY RELEASED:  Portraits of Ukraine, A Nation at War

"Compelling and well-researched, Portraits of Ukraine is enhanced by hundreds of beautiful and evocative images. This book will draw readers into the complex, riveting history that has made Ukraine what it is today: an independent, democratic European nation of forty million people who are defending their freedom, their families, and their future."

​

Seldom does a book appear that provides as comprehensive and well organized a treatment of its subject matter as does Portraits of Ukraine by Gregory W. Slayton & Sergei Ivashenko. The authors present an excellent overview of Ukraine in a highly readable volume complemented with photos and descriptions that serve to strengthen the overall narrative.

​

The 280-page book is packed with 310 beautiful and often dramatic images. At a time when Ukraine is viewed solely through the prism of the horrors and tragedies of the Russian invasion, it is good to see a book that presents Ukraine’s long history, its struggles and victories, the resolve and determination of its people, and the fabulous beauty and cultural heritage of the country. As such, it is an important contribution to fully understanding Ukraine’s current struggle for freedom and what motivates her people, a theme that runs throughout the book.​
