This book is roughly divided into two parts. The first one includes stories directly about the war, about a man at war. Peaceful and friendly, forced by circumstances to destroy a neighbor who threatens you and your loved ones, and at the same time risk your own life. In the second part, there are stories about peaceful life, where the same person, freed from the horrors of war, not without difficulty fits into the prevailing non-military realities, with which he had never been familiar before. In a reality with completely different values. Unfortunately, our hero is haunted by the sad realization that it is no longer possible to return to his former peaceful life. Because the biggest scars in the soul are left by war. Every day we live, every moment, even when there are no rockets falling on us, and we are not looking into the sight of a machine gun, we still feel the stinking breath of war on us — the reflections of fires, the echo of artillery cannonade, the groans of the wounded, the last breath of the dying, the smell of burning from destroyed homes and decay from dead bodies. And very rarely, in the midst of this nightmare, do we pay attention to the gentle breeze of a peaceful breeze, hear the singing of morning birds, rejoice at the smell of fresh bread from the nearest bakery, smile gratuitously at a stranger... And this is what everyone wants, without exception, both the right and the guilty! But, alas, we are not up to it today. We gloomily turn away and look away in resignation, barely pulling ourselves out of the clutter of war. If it succeeds. We are gradually getting used to this condition.… What is happening to us, people? Why are we like this?!
