ABOUT THE BOOK
I Will Die in a Foreign Land tells the harrowing story of the Ukrainian conflict in 2014. Raw and emotional, Pickhart expertly displays the emotional passion and patriotic values at the root of the conflict, centered around the intersection of four main characters.
In 2013, when many citizens of Ukraine moved toward joining the European Union, then-President Yanukovych solidified his ties with Russia and their leader, Putin, first with a contract and then the annexing of Crimea.
