{"product_id":"the-zelensky-method-grant-farred-9781637238233","title":"The Zelensky Method","description":"The end of Vladimir Putin's reign can be dated with precision. When Putin declared war on Ukraine with his February 24th, 2022, invasion, he guaranteed his own demise. Because of Putin's \"special military operation,\" conditions are ripe for a global future in which Russia is a reduced international force. \u003ci\u003eThe Zelensky Method\u003c\/i\u003e, however, does more than take aim at Putin, the Russian oligarchs who have benefited from his rule and the Russian people who are complicit in the disastrous project that is \u003ci\u003eRussky Mir\u003c\/i\u003e - the fantasy of an imperial Russia for a post-Cold War era. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Zelensky Method \u003c\/i\u003eexplains why Ukraine has been able to thwart Putin's ambitions. Key to resisting Putin's imperial fantasy are the ways in which the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has been able to present himself as figure of and for global democracy, as a reluctant revolutionary forced by history to rally his people and the world against Putin's violence. A man brave enough to refuse the US's offer to airlift him out of Kyiv to safety. We remember the signature moment of Zelensky's defiance: \"I don't need a ride. I need ammo.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLocating Russian's war within a global context, \u003ci\u003eThe Zelensky Method \u003c\/i\u003eis unsparing in its critique of those nations, such as China, India, Israel, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the UAE, who have refused to condemn Russia's invasion and are doing everything they can to prevent economic sanctions from being imposed on the Kremlin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGrant Farred \u003c\/i\u003eis the author of, most recently, \u003ci\u003eAn Essay for Ezra: Racial Terror in America\u003c\/i\u003e (2021) and \u003ci\u003eOnly a Black Athlete Can Save Us Now \u003c\/i\u003e(2022).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grant Farred\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1637238231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781637238233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Westphalia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.33d","brand":"Grant Farred","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073827041535,"sku":"9781637238233","price":12.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6349f9aa-a9a0-4cd4-9498-698c5ee7ff94.jpg?v=1685450140","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-zelensky-method-grant-farred-9781637238233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
