Europa 7 Total Disarmament

By Andy N and Nick Armbrister

Returning from the front of Europa VI – The Beginning of the End looks at the end of the war with Poets Nick Armbrister and Andy N instead of facing the machine guns, taking the readers back home to face whatever is waiting for them there.

Europa VII – Total Disarmament a study of the reality of what comes after war and how people change over time over extreme moments in time and how they deal with the consequences of their actions.

Europa VII – Total Disarmament is Nick Armbrister and Andy N at their most reflective looking beyond the vague murmurs of history books and half whispers to look at war from a different angle bringing their realities back into the light.

Introduction

You would have thought after completing six books in our Europa books you would have thought we would have researched and lived through all kinds of conflicts from conflict in both of the World Wars to much more recent tragedies in Afghanistan and what is currently happening in with Ukraine and Russia and would have seen everything except we haven’t really.
