The Showman: The Inside Story of the Invasion That Shook the World and Made a Leader of Volodymyr Zelensky

The Showman is an intimate portrait of Volodymyr Zelensky charting his rise from comedy actor to Ukrainian president and to a symbol of resistance. Based on four years of reporting and travels to the military frontline, author Simon Shuster gives a clear-eyed account of Zelensky’s early failures as a peacemaker and his willingness to silence political dissent. Interviews with the president’s wife, his friends, enemies, advisors, and military commanders, reveal a man who is complex but also struggling to break what he sees as a historical cycle of oppression that started generations before he was born. As the war with Russia drags on relentlessly, Zelensky lays out his vision for Ukraine’s future, and through his actions, his strategy for countering Moscow and keeping the West on his side.
