 THE DESERTER
An Epic Story of Love and War

Written by Sarah A. Topol, narrated by Liev Schreiber, illustrated by Daria Mussienko

In “The Deserter,” the journalist Sarah A. Topol reports the story of Ivan, a deserter who served as a captain in the Russian Army, fought in Ukraine and then ultimately fled the war and his country with his wife, Anna.
