The illuminati ng and in-depth biography of Angela Merkel, using exclusive new sources and research to tell how the daughter of a clergyman from East Germany rose to become arguably the most powerful politi cian in Europe. Angela Merkel is an extraordinary woman: born a pastor's daughter, she earned a doctorate in Quantum Chemistry and, despite having no politi cal experience, succeeded in becoming the fi rst female German Chancellor. She has transformed German and European politi cs; her achievements at home and abroad have seen her top the Forbes Most Powerful Women list ten ti mes; and she is sti ll going strong aft er more than a decade in offi ce. Her trajectory is fascinati ng and impressive, but how has she done it? What drives her? Understanding Merkel is essenti al for anyone with an eye on in current aff airs, especially with Brexit on the horizon. This is the life story of a truly remarkable personality, based on more than a decade's worth of study and original archival research. It explores the cultural, historical and politi cal infl uences that shaped Merkel's character, and combines the narrati ve of her life with a lively account of the history of Germany from 1945 to the present day.
