Product Description

Former British Army soldier Shaun Pinner''s extraordinary first-hand account of the war in Ukraine.

--------

During nine years in the British Army, Shaun Pinner deployed on operations around the world, and trained in Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape. He never imagined that he would be one day draw deep on that training as a prisoner of the Russians ...

But when Pinner fell in love with and married a Ukrainian woman, the couple made their home in Mariupol. Missing the camaraderie and purpose he''d relished in the Royal Anglian Regiment he joined his adopted country''s military as a sniper instructor.

Four years later, the section he led was on the frontline when Vladimir Putin''s forces launched their invasion.

Outnumbered and outgunned in the fiercest fighting seen in Europe since the end of the Second World War, Pinner''s troops staged a fighting retreat back to Mariupol to join the remarkable, defiant last stand that captured the world''s imagination. At the height of the battle, Pinner''s wife urged him to ''Live. Fight. Survive.''

He fought on. Until, ordered by President Zelensky to save themselves, his platoon made a break for it. The enemy was waiting. Pinner was captured.
Over the months the followed, the former British soldier required every ounce of strength, resolve, ingenuity and dark humour to see him and his fellow prisoners of war through the savage mental and physical toll meted out by his ruthless captors. But he refused to be broken.

Live. Fight. Survive. is the breathtaking story of a soldier fighting for his home and family: an unforgettable account of superhuman courage, resistance and defiance in the face of overwhelming odds. And a stirring testament to the power of the human spirit.

'Live. Fight. Survive,' she said. So, he did . . .

There are just two places Shaun Pinner has felt most at home: first, during his nine years in the British Army and, second, in Ukraine, where he settled after marrying. It was only natural then, that when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, he was on the front line leading a section of marines.

Outnumbered and outgunned, Pinner's troops staged a fighting retreat to Mariupol for that remarkable, defiant last stand against Putin's war machine. But this was just the beginning of Shaun's ordeal. When his troops were ambushed, Shaun was captured - and his war shifted from the battlefield to the interrogation room, when the real fight for survival began . . .
