Battlefield Witness

Immersive, research-driven military historical fiction by Anders Lawerny.
Each story is written in first-person perspective, placing the reader directly
inside a specific historical battle or military event. All stories are grounded
in primary sources — memoirs, letters, unit diaries, and contemporary accounts.
Fiction follows the facts. Where invented details appear, they remain within the
boundaries of what the historical record permits.
