Three years after the political novice Volodymyr Zelensky was elected to Ukraine's highest
office he found himself catapulted into the role of war-time leader. The former comedian has
become the public face of his country's courageous and bloody struggle against a brutal
invasion. Born to Jewish parents in central Ukraine Zelensky campaigned for the presidency in
the 2019 election on the promise to restore trust in politics. After his landslide victory he
told jubilant supporters 'I will never let you down.' Little did he know that he would be
called upon to serve his people in the most demanding circumstances imaginable fighting for
the very survival of his country in the worst war on European soil since 1945. Zelensky's
leadership in the face of Russia's aggression is an inspiration to everyone who stands opposed
to the appalling violence being unleashed on Ukraine. This book tells his astonishing story.
