Undefeatable
Odessa in Love and War
Book •
Julian Evans's 'Undefeatable: Odessa in Love and War' combines memoir, travel writing and reportage to tell the story of Odesa—its culture, people and resilience—before and during the Russian invasion.
Drawing on his long association with the city, Evans intertwines personal recollections with political and military analysis to paint a vivid portrait of urban life under threat.
The book examines how Odesa has endured and resisted, exploring themes of identity, community and defiance in wartime.
It also considers broader geopolitical implications, showing how the city's fate reflects larger struggles over sovereignty and memory.
Updated editions include reflections on subsequent events and the shifting international context surrounding Ukraine.
