Courage and Fear - Hardcover

by Ola Hnatiuk (Author), Ewa Siwak (Translator)

Courage and Fear is a meticulously documented study of Lviv's intelligentsia during the Second World War, as the Soviet and German occupations obliterate the intricate social fabric of the city. This micro-history is told from the perspective of individuals, whose stories lost out to grand national narratives.
