I’ve written books on a variety of themes and set within many historical eras, always concentrating on young people plunged in a time of war and persecution. Because Ukraine’s history has been subjected to much disinformation and distortion by both Russia and the former Soviet Union, I’ve written a lot of Ukrainian-themed historically accurate books. If you want to understand the Russian war against Ukraine, inform yourself about the treatment of Ukrainians by both Stalin and Hitler. Putin is channeling them both. Here are my Ukrainian-themed books:
