This is the fascinating tale of Angela Merkel’s political ascent, in which she outmaneuvered her male colleagues and made Germany the strongest economy in Europe. With the storytelling gifts of a novelist, as well as nuanced political expertise garnered from over a decade of experience as an academic and journalist, Matt Qvortrup gives readers unprecedented, personal insight into Frau Merkel’s upbringing under communism, describing how the Secret Police tried to recruit her as a spy, how she lived as a squatter in Berlin, and how she went from distributing leaflets to sitting at the Cabinet table in Helmut Kohl’s government in less than a year. This is the story―told for the first time in English―of how Merkel and her staff of mostly female advisors repeatedly outsmarted the old boys network of conservative male politicians in Germany, turning her country into a more liberal and more prosperous place.  Angela Merkel: Europe's Most Influential Leader combines the narrative of Merkel’s life with a vivid account of German history from 1945 to the present day, featuring cameo appearances by Willy Brandt, Konrad Adenauer, and Helmut Kohl. At a time when Merkel is the chief representative of the west in the negotiations with Putin over the Ukraine, she is also the woman who holds the keys to British membership of the EU. Anyone interested in our time, in the politics of today, should read this lively account of the woman with a doctorate in quantum physics who has become the undisputed queen of Europe.

Introduces readers to the political career of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Engaging infographics, thought-provoking discussion questions, and eye-catching photos give the reader an invaluable look into Germany and the office of its current leader.

The ?aptivating?(The New York Times), definitive biography of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, detailing the extraordinary rise and political brilliance of the most powerful-and elusive-woman in the world.Angela Merkel has always been an outsider. A pastor? daughter raised in Soviet-controlled East Germany, she spent her twenties working as a research chemist, entering politics only after the fall of the Berlin Wall. And yet within fifteen years, she had become chancellor of Germany and, before long, the unofficial leader of the West.In this ?asterpiece of discernment and insight?(The New York Times Book Review), acclaimed biographer Kati Marton sets out to pierce the mystery of Merkel? unlikely ascent. With unparalleled access to the chancellor? inner circle and a trove of records only recently come to light, she teases out the unique political genius that had been the secret to Merkel? success. No modern leader so ably confronted Russian aggression, enacted daring social policies, and calmly unified an entire continent in an era when countries are becoming more divided. Again and again, she cleverly outmaneuvered strongmen like Putin and Trump, and weathered surprisingly complicated relationships with allies like Obama and Macron.Famously private, the woman who emerges from this ?mpressively researched?(The Wall Street Journal) account is a role model for anyone interested in gaining and keeping power while staying true to one? moral convictions. At once a ?iveting?(Los Angeles Review of Books) political biography, an intimate human portrait, and a revelatory look at successful leadership in action, The Chancellor brings forth one of the most extraordinary women of our time.

Vuelve el abuelo que salto de la ventana y se largo! El humor disparatado y la accion trepidante son nuevamente la esencia de otra gran novela de Jonas Jonasson, que con el famoso abuelo de protagonista deja atras el siglo XX y aborda de lleno el momento politico actual (con Kim Jon-un, Angela Merkel y Donald Trump como invitados especiales), una epoca convulsa en la que realidad y ficcion, como no, se confunden con pasmosa facilidad. / The old man that jumped from a window returns. The ridiculous humor and frenetic action are again the essence of another great novel by Jonas Jonasson, who with the famous old man leaves behind the 20th century and addresses fully the current political climate.

Hardcover. Until recently, Germany appeared to be a paragon of economic and political success. Angela Merkel was widely seen as the true 'leader of the free world', and Germany's export-driven economic model seemed to deliver prosperity. But recent events - from Germany's dependence on Russian gas to its car industry's delays in the race to electric - have undermined this view. In Kaput, Wolfgang Munchau argues that the weaknesses of Germany's economy have, in fact, been brewing for decades. The neo-mercantilist policies of the German state, driven by close connections between the country's industrial and political elite, have left Germany technologically behind over-reliant on authoritarian Russia and China - and with little sign of being able to adapt to the digital realities of the 21st century. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of Europe's biggest economy. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

LAS ESPERADAS MEMORIAS DE UNA DE LAS LÍDERES POLÍTICAS MÁS IMPORTANTES DE NUESTRO TIEMPOááDurante 16 años, Angela Merkel asumió la responsabilidad de gobernar Alemania y guio al país a través de numerosas crisis, moldeando la política internacional con su actitud y decisiones. Pero Merkel no nació canciller. En sus memorias, escritas de la mano de su asesora Beate Baumann, la política recuerda su vida en dos estados alemanes: 35 años en la RDA (República Democrática Alemana) y 35 años en la Alemania reunificada.ááA lo largo de estas páginas, la excanciller habla de su infancia y juventud, de su época de estudiante y de la caída del muro en 1989, año en qué decidió implicarse activamente en la vida política de su país. Revive, también, los encuentros con los líderes internacionales más influyentes del mundo y los momentos más decisivos de su carrera, a la vez que ofrece una visión única de los entresijos del poder y un decidido alegato en favor de la libertad.á Qué es para mí la libertad? Esta pregunta ha ocupado toda mi vida. Políticamente, por supuesto, porque la libertad requiere condiciones democráticas, sin democracia no hay libertad, ni Estado de Derecho, ni protección de los derechos humanos. Pero la pregunta también me preocupa a otro nivel. Para mí, libertad significa descubrir dónde están mis propios límites y caminar hasta ellos. Para mí, libertad es no dejar de aprender, no quedarme quieta, ir más allá, incluso después de dejar la política . ANGELA MERKELá
