Description
An intimate and deeply researched portrait of Angela Merkel, from her childhood as a pastor’s daughter in Soviet-controlled East Germany and her work as a research chemist to her rise as Germany’s chancellor and the unofficial leader of the West. Drawing on access to Merkel’s inner circle and recently revealed records, Kati Marton explores the political genius behind her success, her response to authoritarian aggression, her social policies, her relationships with leaders including Putin, Trump, Obama and Macron, and her ability to unify a divided continent. The Chancellor is a political biography, a personal portrait and a study of successful leadership, presenting Merkel as a role model for anyone interested in gaining and keeping power while remaining true to their moral convictions.
