>>634 (OP)I read books mainly on historical topics, especially about the war for independence of Ukraine in 1917-1921.
I can't even count how many times I reread "Kholodny Yar" by Yuri Gorlis-Gorsky.
The novel describes one of the brightest pages of the war for independence of Ukraine. This is a living example of how small in number but indomitable in spirit can successfully fight an incomparably stronger enemy.
After Soviet Russia captured Ukraine, there was a "Kholodnoyar's Republic", over the Dnieper, which was under the Ukrainian national yellow-blue flag of the Ukrainian People's Republic and the black flag of Kholodny Yar, which read: "Ukraine's will — or death!" waged a fierce armed struggle for the Ukrainian state until 1922.
The best book I have ever read.
