Everything you needed to know about the war between Russia and Ukraine as told by children's nonfiction author Ben Thompson (Guts & Glory series). Conversational and straightforward, this is a must-read for any reader looking to have a better understanding of the current global events.

It is late on the evening of Monday, February 25th, 2022, and Kyiv is burning. The unthinkable has happened. The Russians have invaded Ukraine. Land war has come to Europe, on a scale that has not been seen since the end of the Second World War.

Since this date, Russia has enacted a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, led by its leader, president Vladimir Putin. Ukraine has fought back in turn, led by their president, Volodymyr Zelensky--defending their homeland and its independent customs, people, history, and language.

Putin vs Zelensky by Ben Thompson chronicles the history of Ukraine and the events that set in motion the Russian invasion and ongoing, present-day war, as told through the stories and heritage of the conflict's two key players: Volodomyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin.

He has appeared on television programs for the History Channel, Discovery, and the American Heroes Channel, and has written articles for outlets such as Cracked, Mental Floss, and The American Mustache Institute. He currently owns four swords (if you count a letter opener shaped like Glamdring the Foe-Hammer), and is very happy that he appears on the Wikipedia disambiguation page alongside a famous gunfighter, Count Rumsford, and like a dozen Australian Rules Football players.
