John Lyons: A Bunker in Kyiv

Four-time Walkley Award winner and ABC Global Affairs Editor John Lyons shares his experiences on the front lines of the war in Ukraine.

By day, Kyiv resembles a typical European city, but at night, sirens wail as Ukraine dispatches as much ammunition as the continent produces in a single day. John’s A Bunker in Kyiv: The Astonishing Story of the People’s Army Destroying Putin is not a typical war book because this conflict is unlike any other. The soldiers are civilians and, in his account of the war, John highlights their resilience to paint a story of hope and humanity.
