Chancellor. The Life Story of Angela Merkel

The most influential politician in Europe. "The Mathematician of Power." A woman of exceptional determination. Angela Merkel. In attempts to look behind the curtain of her personal life, observers have sometimes resorted to completely illogical conclusions. But it is this book, written by renowned biographer Katie Marton, that will tell, without exaggeration, about the tumultuous life of the leader of the free world. The migration crisis in Germany, the conflict in Ukraine, leading the country during the pandemic, the financial crisis in the Eurozone – you will be able to view all these events through Merkel's eyes. You will also learn how, lacking both the gift of eloquence and striking appearance, to maintain power for 16 years and continually strengthen one’s position. How, despite regular criticism from the media and the West, to pull Germany out of the global economic crisis without colossal losses for the country. How to skillfully mix management styles, alternating masculine toughness with feminine softness, to win in negotiations. How to remain forever in the hearts of millions of German citizens, being a foreigner to them.
