About This Book
Time correspondent Simon Shuster delivers the definitive account of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, written and reported from inside the presidential compound in Kyiv, based on Shuster's unparalleled access to President Zelensky and his top aides.
Reviews
"Vividly rendering parts of contemporary Ukrainian history that often get lost amid headlines ..."
"Wonks and experts will get something out of "The Showman," but the book is most valuable to those who know little about the war and seek greater context and background."
"While Shuster's admiration for his subject is palpable, he never tips over into hagiography."
"An important work as one of the first fully researched, book-length chronicles of the ongoing war in Ukraine."
"Publication deadlines, though, mean that it doesn't really cover how Ukraine's fortunes have worsened in recent months."
"This is a crisp snapshot of a national leader under fire."
"Shuster paints with great sympathy a complex picture of Mr."
"The book's first draft was completed in the summer of 2023 and captures the mood shifts of the first 18 months of war ..."
"Shuster's account will be hard to beat for its closeness to Zelenskiy during this momentous time for Ukraine and Europe."
"Shuster is particularly good in describing Zelenskiy's courage in staying put in Kyiv with his family on the morning the Russian army invaded."
