The Chancellor by Kati Marton (Hardback)

The Remarkable Odyssey of Angela Merkel

Famously private and an outsider to the political world from the outset, Angela Merkel emerges from this political biography as a role model for anyone interested in gaining and keeping power while staying true to one’s moral convictions. Her story provides a revelatory look at successful leadership in action; no other modern leader has so ably confronted authoritarian aggression, enacted daring social policies and calmly unified an entire continent in an era when countries are becoming only more divided.
