THE WAR NEXT DOOR Summary

THE WAR NEXT DOOR: My Journeys Into Ukraine by Will Blackburn

Would you risk your life to go into a war zone to help someone you didnt know? Will Blackburn did. On the day Russia invaded Ukraine Will was selling software and living quietly in Poland. 24 hours later Ukrainian refugees arrived in his home town. Software sales suddenly seemed irrelevant. He dug out his old Army Reserve kit and appealed to other veterans to do the same - all to be donated to Ukraine. The response was remarkable. A friends garage became the depot. A Polish removal company provided the transport. The heroic drivers of Fundacja Igora Tracza drove the donations into the heart of the Donbas. They took Will with them. Bullets fly and shells explode. But this is not a report from the battle front. It is Wills account of the trips he has made into the war zone. He sees the terrible damage done by the Russians as they destroy towns and villages, killing and maiming civilians. The heroes of these journeys are the drivers who risk their lives on every convoy and the beleaguered citizens of Ukraine who are bravely trying to get on with their lives.

About Will Blackburn

Will Blackburn never meant to write a book about Ukraine. For many years he was happy selling software and living in London. The only outstanding drama in his life had been a tour of Iraq with the Territorial Army in 2003/4. A family crisis in 2015 precipitated a move to Poland. In February of 2022 Will and his wife found themselves living right on the border of a massive European war. He knew he could not just stand by and be happy selling software. It was time to do something. Once Will saw for himself the utter destruction and suffering of Ukraine and its people, he realised that he had to document what he was seeing. Those notes became the book about his journeys into Ukraine. Will is now fully involved in sourcing equipment in support of Ukraine and the convoys run by Fundacja Igora Tracza.
