Spev sirén (Song of Sirens) takes us on a monumental journey into the heart of the Ukrainian conflict, far from the usual media coverage of the war, and tells its brutally earthy ongoing story with none of the usual sentiment and myths we have got used to.

Tomáš Forró works along the whole length of the front line: in bombed-out towns; amongst soldiers in trenches and starving civilians. He has gradually gone from being a journalist to humanitarian volunteer to direct participant in the military operations.

This book is not an account of battles, though, nor of acts of heroism or cruelty carried out by one or the other warring parties. Instead it is a painfully sincere probe into the world beyond our eastern border.
