The Jew­ish pres­i­dent of a coun­try with a his­to­ry of anti­semitism, Volodymyr Zelen­sky is now the proud face of resis­tance against Russ­ian aggres­sion. While this graph­ic biog­ra­phy from Tidal­wave Pro­duc­tions leans more into dra­ma than nuance, it suc­ceeds as an engag­ing intro­duc­tion to the life of an unex­pect­ed hero and the chal­lenges he faces today. It is meant to be read in real time, as world events rapid­ly unfold. The book begins in the present, on Feb­ru­ary 25, 2022.
