From the publisher:

This book is the first attempt to present to the Ukrainian reader the figure of Petro Hryhorenko, a Soviet Army General, prominent human rights activist, publicist, and founding member of the Moscow and Ukrainian Helsinki Groups, as one of the most active and consistent fighters for civil and national rights and freedoms in the USSR in the second half of the twentieth century.

The book contains articles and memoirs about the General by his contemporaries and colleagues, as well as little-known journalistic works and memoirs of P. Hryhorenko, which introduce us not only to the era in which the General lived, but also to the evolution of the views of a sincere communist - from criticism of the Communist Party to open struggle against totalitarian power, to a fighter for an independent Ukrainian state.

Petro Hryhorenko in his works appears to the reader as a military strategist and a sharp uncompromising publicist, an accurate memoirist and a born truth-seeker, a loyal comrade and a courageous defender of all the oppressed and enslaved, a philosopher and a fighter.
