In the first week of September 2022, President Volodymyr Zelensky sat down for a meal with soldiers in their field canteen, just 700 metres from enemy lines in the Donetsk region. He was given a briefing on the battle situation. Unlike Vladimir Putin grandstanding in the sanctuary of the Kremlin some 1,000 kilometres from that field canteen, Zelensky is leading his military, both psychologically, emotionally and physically. This sequel to the first book on the Ukrainian President in the early days of 2022, soon after the invasion by the Russian Federation had begun, paints a complex and gripping picture of how Zelensky continued to conduct himself and led the Ukrainian nation’s fight to retain the country, the land and the people.
