On February 24, 2022, as he issued orders, Valerii Zaluzhnyi spoke the words that became a symbol of Ukrainian resistance: “This country rests on our shoulders.”
The Iron General, a legendary figure, Hero of Ukraine, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (2021–2024), a military commander whom history will remember as the man who thwarted Russia’s “blitzkrieg” plan and dispelled the myth of the Russian army’s invincibility, and one of the 100 most influential people of 2022 according to Time magazine.
What is he really like? What is the story behind the making of the great military commander known to the public as iron-willed, but to those close to him as sincere, modest, demanding, and at the same time caring? Lyudmyla Dolhonovska’s book offers a glimpse behind the scenes of momentous events and lets readers hear the voices of those who stood shoulder to shoulder with Valerii Zaluzhnyi. As a witness and the Commander-in-Chief’s strategic communications adviser, the author tells us who supported the general and what gave him the strength simply to “do his job”—when in reality he was leading and embodying the legendary Ukrainian army, every soldier who holds the line and valiantly fights to secure Ukraine’s right to exist.
