Reviews"A closely observed [and] nuanced portrait of a leader in a time of crisis who has definitely risen to the occasion." -- Kirkus, "Moving.... [Mendel] helps demystify the dictator [Vladimir Putin] whom the Western media has long portrayed as having the cunning and wit of a fearless Bond villain... Her reflections on her relationship with the Ukrainian language at a time when Ukraine's cultural ties to Russia have been all but severed are also extremely important to the cultural discourse." --The Washington Post, "Iuliia Mendel's extraordinary story shows us her Ukraine, a young country that chose progress with President Zelenskyy's transformative election but now finds itself under attack in Vladimir Putin's war on democracy." --Ivan M iklo s? , Slovakian economist and politician, former minister of finance of Slovakia, "Iuliia Mendel's book reminds us that war is not only about machines and destruction--it is also about people and ideas. The Fight of Our Lives shows us how Ukraine's fight for freedom is our fight--humanity's fight against tyranny." --Ambassador Kurt Volker

SynopsisWhen Ukrainian journalist Iuliia Mendel got the call she had been hired to work for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, she had no idea what was to come. In this frank and moving inside account, Zelenskyy's former press secretary tells the story of his improbable rise from popular comedian to the president of Ukraine. Mendel had a front row seat to many of the key events preceding the 2022 Russian invasion. From attending meetings between Zelenskyy and Putin and other European leaders, visiting the front lines in Donbas, to fielding press inquiries after the infamous phone calls between Donald Trump and Zelenskyy that led to Trump's first impeachment. Mendel saw firsthand Zelenskyy's efforts to transform his country from a poor, backward Soviet state into a vibrant, prosperous European democracy. Mendel sheds light on the massive economic problems facing Ukraine and the entrenched corrupt oligarchs in league with Russia. She witnessed the Kremlin's repeated attacks to discredit Zelenskyy through disinformation and an army of bots and trolls. Woven into her account are details about her own life as a member of Zelenskyy's new Ukraine. Written with the sound of Russian bombs and exploding shells in the background, Mendel details life lived under Russian siege in 2022. She says goodbye to her fiancé who joins the front lines, like so many other Ukrainian men. Throughout this story of Zelenskyy, Ukraine, and its extraordinary people, Iuliia Mendel reminds us of the paramount importance of truth and human values, especially in these darkest of times., "Moving." -- The Washington Post When Ukrainian journalist Iuliia Mendel got the call she had been hired to work for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, she had no idea what was to come.
