Simon Shuster
Rezensionen
"The Showman surpasses all similar efforts to date and is set to be the standard by which all other works on Mr. Zelensky and Ukraine's wartime politics will be judged." - Wall Street Journal

"Using interviews with the Ukrainian president, his closest associates and his critics, Shuster crafts an intimate account of the Russian invasion, which vividly captures Zelensky's transformation from a clean-cut funnyman into a war hero out of central casting." - New York Times Book Review

"[A]uthoritative and engaging . . . [Shuster] writes with clarity and immediacy about matters that could easily descend into centuries of history and reams of military strategy. The Showman has plenty of both, but always in the service of a tight narrative that deftly toggles from past to present and back again. . . . Shuster does readers the ultimate service. He makes them feel smart. . . . The Showman is first-rate long-form journalism." - San Francisco Chronicle

"[A] definitive, thoroughly researched and deeply insightful biography . . . The Showman is a far more intimate and much better informed biography than most politicians get from journalists. Shuster is an honest and frank biographer, thoroughly equipped for the job." - The Guardian

"[An] intimate biography . . . [A] brilliant piece of extended reportage." - London Times

"Fascinating. Powerful. Important. This book is an illuminating profile of Zelensky's courage and an expert study of the fraught relationship between Russia and Ukraine." - Library Journal (starred review)

"An intense, evocative portrait of one of the most remarkable figures of our era. This book offers a front row seat to history as it is being made." - Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of Twilight of Democracy

"Shuster's book is a narrative tour de force that takes us deep behind the scenes of the Ukrainian president's bunker during the tensest days of Russia's war against Ukraine. An astonishingly intimate portrayal of the former comedian turned wartime leader battling to save his nation-and Europe-that nevertheless keeps a doggedly honest and critical balance. This is the Zelensky book we've been waiting for." - Catherine Belton, international investigative reporter for The Washington Post and author of Putin's People

"Intimate but unflinchingly objective, this biography gives you a seat at Zelensky's war cabinet and penetrates his mind as he battles to save Ukraine's freedom-and ours." - Peter Pomerantsev, author of Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible

"The most intimate portrait of Zelensky, the man at the center of the world drama, painted by one of the best writers in the field, Simon Shuster. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand what Ukrainians are fighting for and why they will prevail." - Serhii Plokhy, author of The Russo-Ukrainian War

"This book is a historical milestone. No journalist in recent memory has had such unique access to the people changing our world in real time. Thanks to Simon Shuster and this brilliant, sincere, and truthful book, readers today-and future generations-will have a chance to learn the inside of this war and to understand Volodymyr Zelensky." - Mikhail Zygar, author of All the Kremlin's Men
