In 2014, Carolus Löfroos went to war. It was not the war he expected to be fighting.
Following the Russian invasion of Crimea in February 2014, fighting has alternately raged and simmered across the Donbas region of Ukraine. Geopolitical pressures and realpolitik have long defined Europe’s policies toward the former Soviet state, constraining Western military aid. Nonetheless, foreign volunteers have fought for Ukraine since the outbreak of the conflict. In this contemporary tale of adventure and misadventure, boredom and terror, Carolus Löfroos—a Swedish volunteer who fought for Ukraine—lays bare the reality of modern warfare at the frontiers of Great Power competition.
The Foreigner Group is a profusely illustrated hardcover book, featuring both a ‘traditional’ Headstamp Publishing-style cover and a more contemporary dust jacket. Approximately 6 × 9 inches, the book features a lay-flat sewn binding, quality paper stock, and modern style dust jacket along with distinctive Headstamp cover design. The text is complemented by dozens of full-color images, maps, and other illustrations presented on quality paper stock.
“A lot has been said and written about foreign volunteers in Ukraine over the years, most of it by political commentators who want to cast us in different lights to further their own agendas. I have no intention of doing that with this book. I was one of the few men of the Foreigner Group, serving with the Ukrainian National Guard. Let me, to the best of my abilities, tell you the real story of who we were and why we were there.”
— Carolus Löfroos
