Europe@War- War in Ukraine Volume 11

"...well documented with a good combination of all aspects; units, maps, vehicles, stories, and battles." - AMPS

In February 2022 Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, gambling on a swift capture and occupation of Kyiv. One crucial element of this plan was a rapid advance along the E95 highway that passed through Chernihiv to the north of Ukraine's capital city. Volume 11 of the War in Ukraine series, The Battle of Chernihiv, February-March 2022 reconstructs and analyses for the first time the course of events and the reasons for the defeat of the Russian army in this crucial early battle.

The author was present in Chernihiv during the events described and collected hundreds of interviews with military and civic personnel who took a direct part in the battles. The Battle of Chernihiv will be of interest to enthusiasts of military history and military professionals alike.

Many photographs from the author's archive are shown for the first time in this volume, along with specially commissioned maps and the @War series' signature colour artworks.
