Ordinary People Don't Carry Machine Guns by Artem Chapeye
Thoughts on War
A Ukrainian reporter and novelist who becomes a soldier after the 2022 invasion examines how war upends personal beliefs, family life, and everyday routines. In three parts, he reflects on the first days of the conflict, the experiences of ordinary civilians, and the moral questions around who fights and why. The book is a spare, personal account of how war reshapes identity, duty, and relationships without revealing operational details or outcomes.
