Following the start of the tragic events in Ukraine, a group of historical writers on an Internet forum discussed what they could do to help. The feeling of helplessness in the face of the man-made tragedy was palpable. We considered many options, each less practical than the previous one. Then, someone had an idea. We were writers. We should write a book, an anthology, with proceeds going to help with the rebuilding of Ukraine. From that, things flowed quickly. The theme of rebuilding became adopted: “Building a Better Future.” That’s what you’re holding in your hands. The product of a group of historical writers trying to do something to help the people of Ukraine.
A good collection of relatively diverse stories. This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I definitely appreciate the work of David Flin and the other authors.
