A Small, Stubborn Town. Life, Death And Defeat In Ukraine

'We are touched by the courage and dignity of Andrew Harding's characters - qualities that the author must surely possess in equal measure.' - Andrey Kurkov

'Originally reported and beautifully written.' - Arkady Ostrovsky

'A story of extraordinary heroism by ordinary people. - James Meek

'This gripping account is the Russian invasion of Ukraine in microcosm.' - Lindsey Hilsum

It's March 2022 and Russian tanks are roaring across the vast, snow-dusted fields of Ukraine. Their destination: Voznesensk, a town with a small bridge that could change the course of the war.

The heavily-armed Russians are expecting an easy fight - or no fight at all. After all, Voznesensk is a quiet farming town, full of pensioners. But the locals appear to have other ideas.

Svetlana, a grandmother with arthritis, reacts in fury when Russian troops turn her cottage into their blood-soaked headquarters. Valentin, a quick-talking lawyer, joins the town's 'Dads Army' defenders, crouching in a trench with an AK47. Meanwhile, 21-year-old Sergei grabs a Molotov cocktail and lies in wait for Russian tanks as they push towards Dead Water Bridge.

The odds are terrible. But a plan is emerging, and there's a chance it could save not just Voznesensk, but the rest of southern Ukraine. Meanwhile, inside the tanks, an inner battle rages. As Russian officer Igor Rudenko prepares to invade, he has a secret. He is Ukrainian himself.

A gripping work of reportage that tells the story of a pivotal moment in Ukraine's war, this is a real-life thriller about ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances with resilience, humour and ingenuity.

Great cooling pillow, and cat-approved!
Color: Purple, Size: Standard, Color: Purple, Size: Standard
I've been using this EGOHOME cooling gel memory foam pillow for a few weeks now, and the cooling feature is definitely the standout for me. The reversible cooling cover really does what it promises — it feels noticeably cool to the touch, especially when the AC is on, and makes a big difference on warmer nights. It helps create that fresh, cool sleep surface that makes it easier to relax and fall asleep. Beyond the cooling comfort, the memory foam strikes a great balance between soft and supportive. It keeps my neck aligned whether I sleep on my side or back, and I’ve been waking up feeling more rested with much less neck stiffness than before. The removable, washable cover is also a practical plus. One small note: the cooling effect does gradually fade after an hour or two without AC, so pairing it with a fan or air conditioning helps maintain that cooler feel longer. And perhaps the highest endorsement I can offer: my cat Duoduo claimed it immediately. She’s been loafing on it with a look of complete ownership ever since — I’d say that’s the ultimate comfort test passed.

Cool, Supportive, and Very Comfortable Pillow
Color: Blue, Size: Standard, Color: Blue, Size: Standard
I really liked this pillow from the first night. It feels soft but still gives very good support to the head and neck, so it feels comfortable in different sleeping positions. I also liked the cooling side, which feels nice especially at night when the room gets warm. The pillow has a good shape, feels well made, and the cover is easy to remove and wash, which is very helpful for regular use. Overall, I feel this pillow is worth buying if you want comfort and support together. It gives a nice balance, not too hard and not too soft, and I woke up feeling more relaxed. The cooling feature, washable cover, and memory foam support make it very practical for everyday use. I am happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it.

To think and the best cooling
Color: Blue, Size: Standard
The pillow is a little to thin..not as thick as it should be. The cooling feels good for a short period then looses it cooling for me.

Great pillow
Color: Blue, Size: Standard, Color: Blue, Size: Standard
Great pillow very comfortable and supportive I was pleasantly surprised by this pillow. It has the perfect balance between softness and support, keeping my neck well aligned throughout the night. The material feels high quality and it doesn’t get too hot, which is a big plus. After a few nights, I noticed better sleep and less neck discomfort. Highly recommend!!!!

Comfortable and stays cool
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 1)
Great pillow. When i opened it, i noticed a strange smell, i assumed its the smell of whatever they use to make the pillow stay cool. You have to fluff it for a good amount of time to make sure the cooling agent spreads well in the foam. Is what i assumed atleast. Its a perfect amount of softness for me. Pair it with some bamboo pillow cases and you got a good night of sleep
