about this “indispensable European” … a fascinating portrait of a
powerful woman’

anecdotes and rich details’

biography of her rise from a tough and traditional family, through
her career as a physical chemist in communist East Germany, to her
current renown’ Foreign Affairs ‘It’s instructive to spend time in
Merkel’s competent and humane company … [Marton] has doggedly
retraced Merkel’s trail, and the story she brings is a good
one’

about Angela Merkel; for anyone who knows nothing about Angela

last page’

rigorous research and unparalleled empathy, Marton brings us deep
into the private sphere of Angela Merkel’

and the possibilities of politics … Tells that story with insight
and grace’

private leader, who, in her quiet and determined way, made Germany
the economic and moral leader of Europe’

reminder of the role of fate and timing in leadership’

again in reading it how astonishing Merkel’s life and career have
been – and how eventful the period’
