Ashes in the Snow

By Roy William Dransfield

"Ashes in the Snow" is a visceral, first-person journey through the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, told through the eyes of a young conscript transformed by the brutal reality of war. Beginning with the 2022 invasion, the story follows his rise from a patriotic teenager to the leader of an elite off-the-books Ukrainian unit operating deep behind enemy lines. As he navigates real historical battles, like the defence of Bakhmut and the Kharkiv counteroffensive, he confronts war crimes, psychological warfare, and the devastating human cost of resistance.
