‘To fight evil.’ That’s why Macer Gifford gave up his comfortable life as a City of London currency trader to fight as an international volunteer in two major conflicts – first in Syria, and then in Ukraine. In 2014, he joined the Kurds in their battle against ISIS. In 2022, he helped Ukrainians fend off Putin’s Russia. Here, Macer reveals the perils of 21st-century warfare, recalls the joy of liberating Kherson, and explains why Ukrainians are still willing to risk it all for their freedom.
