| Zusammenfassung: | "You cannot understand the historic events of 2022 without understanding Zelensky. But the Zelensky effect is less about the man himself than about the civic nation he embodies: what makes Zelensky most extraordinary in war is his very ordinariness as a Ukrainian. The Zelensky effect explains this paradox, exploring Ukraine's national history to show how its now iconic president reflects the hopes and frustrations of the country's first "independence generation." -- Interweaving social and political background with compelling episodes from Zelensky's life and career, this is the story of Ukraine told through the journey of one man who has come to symbolize his country."-- Inside leaf of dust jacket |
