A compelling story of how ordinary Ukrainians saved their nation. With Russian shells raining on Kyiv and tanks closing in, American forces prepared to evacuate Ukraine’s leader. Just three years earlier, his apparent main qualification had been playing a president on TV. But Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly retorted, ‘I need ammunition, not a ride.’ Ukrainian forces won the battle for Kyiv, ensuring their country’s independence even as a longer war began for the southeast. 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 symbolise his country.--Book flap

Depuis le 24 février 2022, 6 heures du matin, on ne voit plus le président de l'Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, qu'en pantalon de treillis, tee-shirt et veste kaki. Malgré les tentatives d'assassinat, il reste à Bankova, le siège de la présidence en plein coeur de Kyiv, la capitale ukrainienne. Le décor pompeux de l'édifice est devenu surréaliste : des sacs de sable obstruent les fenêtres, les gardes du corps ont troqué leurs costumes pour des gilets pare-balles. Mal rasé et assis sur les marches du hall d'entrée, le président Zelensky donne des interviews à la presse internationale. C'est là que celui qui dirige le pays depuis 2019 s'est métamorphosé en chef de guerre, incarnation de l'héroïsme et de la résistance de tout un peuple, qui lutte à la vie à la mort pour sa liberté. L'ancien comédien et animateur télé n'était pourtant pas destiné à ce rôle. Qui est cet homme arrivé en politique par effraction et sur les épaules duquel repose une partie du destin de l'Europe ? Tous deux sur le terrain, les auteurs nous livrent une enquête au plus près de ce personnage hors du commun.
