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.

In this frank and "moving" (The Washington Post) insider 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.

A "spirited account of history in the making" (Publishers Weekly), The Fight of Our Lives sheds light on the massive economic problems facing Ukraine and the entrenched corrupt oligarchs in league with Russia. Mendel 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, and his efforts to transform his country from a poor, backward Soviet state into a vibrant, prosperous European democracy. 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 fianc? who joins the front lines, like so many other Ukrainian men. Throughout this story of Zelenskyy, Ukraine, and its extraordinary people, "The Fight of Our Lives shows us how Ukraine's fight for freedom is our fight--humanity's fight against tyranny" (Kurt Volker, former United States ambassador to NATO).
