This book by John McWhorter came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference.

“I recommend John McWhorter's books, and especially his lecture series for the great courses on language”— Lex Fridman
The guest here is Volodymyr Zelenskyy: President of Ukraine, leading the country's defense since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. A former comedian and production-studio executive, he won the presidency in 2019 on an anti-corruption platform. Ukraine's President Zelenskyy argues war can only end through strength and real security guarantees, not naive trust in Putin.
