Synopsis On February 24, 2022, the world watched in horror as Russia invaded Ukraine. For Singaporean correspondent Ix Shen, the conflict hit much closer to home. With a Ukrainian wife and a community that was being torn apart, he witnessed the devastating impact of the invasion from his own balcony. Set against the backdrop of an incredibly complex war, this gripping autobiography takes readers on his adventurous evacuation to Poland - a journey both physically demanding and emotionally exhausting. Through this experience, Ix found himself transformed in profound ways, and this book is a testament to the power of personal growth and transformation even in the midst of chaos. He also provides a unique, Asian perspective on a topic that is often shrouded in propaganda and political spin. Stunning photographs offer an additional visual window into the conflict and his journey, providing a visceral and haunting glimpse at what is now lost. This insightful memoir is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the human cost of war and the power of the human spirit to endure.
