"Courage and the unwavering spirit of those fighting for a future"
"Raw, authentic, unforgettable—soldiers' stories in their own words"
"The Little Yellow Excavator"
Anthology by 19 Military Writers
The Little Yellow Excavator is a landmark literary-arts project amplifying the frontline voices of soldier-authors who have defended—and continue to defend—Ukraine and Europe in the defining war of the 21st century.
Blending prose and poetry with documentary-style photographs from the independent outlet Donbas Frontliner, covering the war since 2014, the book serves as a collective thank-you to those who risk everything for the future of Europe.
