This book belongs to so many people - to those, who trusted me with their stories, to the team of printers, who printed this under shelling,
to the designer who was looking for the glass for her windows, blown out from explosion, whilst creating the book cover
The first printed edition of 'Around the War in Twenty Stories' is a charity project - all the money from the sales will be shared among charitable projects.
‘These stories are beautifully written and give a stunning and poignant sense of the state of play’.
Alec Russell, Foreign Editor, Financial Times
