With a Mighty Sweep of the Wings

Set against the backdrop of the momentous Zbruch Offensive, an epic tale unfolds about the Ukrainians' heroic struggle for their freedom.

Written by an eyewitness to the events, Antin Krushelnytsky's novel «With a Mighty Sweep of the Wings» takes readers into the heart of the Galician Uprising. The author masterfully depicts the complex political realities of the time, where most bureaucrats and intellectuals, unprepared for drastic change, resisted the idea of independence. In contrast, Krushelnytsky with emotional power describes the enthusiasm and courage of the youth and military who strived for the creation of a Ukrainian state. Their dedication and faith in a free future inspire, while the tragedy of their retreat in the face of a much stronger enemy moves one to the depths of the soul.
