The Showman

"Shuster is an honest and frank biographer, thoroughly equipped for the job ..."

"Publication deadlines, though, mean that it doesn't really cover how Ukraine's fortunes have worsened in recent months."

"While Shuster's admiration for his subject is palpable, he never tips over into hagiography."

"Shuster's account will be hard to beat for its closeness to Zelenskiy during this momentous time for Ukraine and Europe."

"Takes the reader inside the nuclear bunker under the presidential palace in the first hours of the invasion ..."

"Authoritative and engaging ..."

"Zelensky and Ukraine's wartime politics will be judged."

"An important work as one of the first fully researched, book-length chronicles of the ongoing war in Ukraine."

"Shuster's book does justice to a complex man, who is fighting our fight as well as his own."

"This is a crisp snapshot of a national leader under fire."
