"1918. The Donetsk Blitzkrieg" can be attributed not so much to historical literature as to motivational literature. This publication is based on the memoirs of Volodymyr Sikevych, a general-corporal, commander of the Slavic Group of the UPR Army, which liberated Donetsk region from Bolshevik occupation in March-April 1918.

This edition is a partial reprint of Pages from General Sikevych's Notebook, published in exile between 1941 and 1951. From the pages of the book emerge images of Ukrainian soldiers, detailed descriptions of combat operations, poetic landscapes of the Ukrainian steppe, and political events that were crucial for the course of the National Liberation Movement. The author has deprived his stories of archival dryness and gives his work a vivid artistic colouring, underlined by the colourful Ukrainian language of the early twentieth century. The novelty of this edition is the chronological ordering of the author's stories, which were spontaneously divided between different books.

The combat path of the UPR Army in the spring of 1918 is extremely relevant for today. Petro Bolbochan liberated the South and Crimea, Volodymyr Sikevych liberated Slobozhanshchyna and Donbas, and did so with lightning speed and minimal losses among the personnel. Subsequently, peace and tranquillity reigned in all these lands for some time, which would be violated again by the Russian occupiers in 1918 and 2014.

So, "1918. The Donetsk Blitzkrieg" is an ideal guide for anyone who would like to repeat it.
