The Showman: Inside the Invasion That Shook the World and Made a Leader of Volodymyr Zelensky is a non-fiction book written by Time magazine journalist Simon Shuster, released on January 23, 2024 by William Morrow.[1][2] The book examines Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's transformation into a wartime leader during Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.[3][4]

Reception

[edit]

After its release, The Showman became a bestseller.[5] The Wall Street Journal lauded the book as "the standard by which all other works on Mr. Zelenskyy and Ukraine's wartime politics will be judged,"[6] while The Guardian called it "a definitive, thoroughly researched, and deeply insightful biography."[3]

Kate Tsurkan from The Kyiv Independent critiqued aspects of the book, suggesting that some passages—and Shuster’s earlier articles for Time on Russia’s war against Ukraine—tended towards sensationalism.[7]

The book was banned in Russia as part of government censorship regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[8]
