Undefeatable - Odesa in Love and War

''This is the account we''ve been starved of: an insight into Ukraine from an authoritative British writer who has skin in the country-s game. -Odesa is my discovered heart,- confesses Julian Evans, who fell in love with a woman from this constantly beguiling Black Sea port and started a family there, -the place that''s given me what I need for more than twenty-five years.- An outsider turned insider, his deep personal involvement compelled him to the front line of an unprovoked war without precedent in Europe for nearly eighty years. His vivid, first-hand reportage shows how Odesa-s story is inseparable from Ukraine-s - and more than that, how it has become our story too.'' Nicholas Shakespeare
