He was at the forefront of some of Germany's most definitive and controversial decisions, in his role as the first Social Democrat Chancellor of West Germany between 1969 and 1974. In this period he paved the way for the eventual reunification of the country, as well as strengthening European integration in western Europe.

This definitive new biography illuminates Brandt's personal life and political career, providing new perspectives on one of the leading statesmen of the twentieth century.

Paperback. WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY THE AUTHORAn authoritative survey of political leadership over the last hundred years - from Churchill and Roosevelt to Stalin and Hitler, from Willy Brandt and Mikhail Gorbachev to Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair - and a debunking of the myth that it is only the strong, single-minded leader who makes a difference.* UPDATED WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY THE AUTHOR *CHOSEN BY BILL GATES AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016Archie Brown challenges the widespread belief that 'strong leaders', dominant individual wielders of power, are the most successful and admirable.Within authoritarian regimes, a collective leadership is a lesser evil compared with a personal dictatorship. Within democracies, although 'strong leaders' are seldom as strong or independent as they purport to be, the idea that just one person is entitled to take the big decisions is harmful and should be resisted.Examining Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mikhail Gorbachev, Deng Xiaoping and Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair amongst many others, this landmark study pinpoints different types and qualities of leadership. Overturning the popular notion of the strong leader, it makes us rethink preconceptions about what it means to lead. * UPDATED WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY THE AUTHOR *CHOSEN BY BILL GATES AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016Archie Brown challenges the widespread belief that 'strong leaders', dominant individual wielders of power, are the most successful and admirable.

Neuware - Golo Mann korrespondierte in den Jahren zwischen 1932 und 1992 mit Freunden und Gegnern, Künstlern, Publizisten und Politikern - unter ihnen Karl Jaspers, Benjamin Britten, Willy Brandt, Ernst Jünger, Marion Gräfin Dönhoff, Joachim Fest, Klaus und Heinrich Mann -, aber auch unbekannten Zeitgenossen, die sich ratsuchend an ihn wandten.Die in diesem Band ungekürzt wiedergegebenen und erstmals gedruckten 172 Briefe handeln von Geschichte, Literatur und Politik, zeigen das gespannte Verhältnis des Emigranten zur alten Heimat, sprechen von Liebe und Tod, Einsamkeit und immer wieder vom Vater und der Sehnsucht danach, Schriftsteller zu sein. Von sich selbst und seiner Homosexualität allerdings dürfe er nicht dichten, vertraute Golo Mann einem Freund an, »weil mein Vater dies Pferd ziemlich müde geritten hat«.
