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

Authentic, deeply studied, open, apparently truthful account of the legendary Ukraine president and the over-all recent history of the country. Zelensky is human with all the fallacies and nobility: a true picture emerges in the book. Compelling reading.

I truly found this one of the best books I have ever read. I’m normally not one for biographies, but the way that the author wrote the book, breaking up the biography of Zelensky with the history of the start of the war in Ukraine, and all of its troubles with Russia, it was both refreshing and exhilarating to read.The author absolutely does not sugarcoat or try and paint a completely beautiful picture of a perfect leader in Zelensky. He is shown with all his flaws, with views from multiple sides of his life and his presidency. No one is without fault in their character, or and how they handle their business, especially when they become a leader, and especially when they are a political novice like. Zelensky. All of this is shown, for all the world to see, and for any, and all to judge with what they read.Even with all, that said, Zelensky it’s truly an inspiring and impressive leader, an individual who you see change throughout the book overtime from the comedian he was into the wartime leader, that he is now. Truly have nothing but respect and admiration for the president before, and I have even more so now after this book.Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

It is history In the making as described by a honest dedicated writer. We are the benefactors of a brave piece of journalism.

He’s only human and we all make mistakes. His self denial of what Russia was doing in the run up to the invasion should mean he’s removed from office when the war is over but there is little doubt he’s been a courageous war time leader.

This book has not only open me eyes to the Horrific true of the War on Ukraine but is shows how one man with a big heart and a vision has become the leader and defender for a nation. I recommend everyone to read it and get a understanding of war and leadership

Excellent and revelatory. The importance of understanding leaders in positions such as this is critical to understanding history.
