Summary:
"An in-depth biography of
Angela
Merkel
. How the daughter of a clergyman from East Germany rose to become one of the
most
powerful women in the world."--NoveList.
"In 2015 Time magazine named German Chancellor
Angela
Merkel
as its Person of the Year, leaving little doubt that the woman who has held control of the European Union and successfully negotiated with Russian President Vladimir Putin is one of the
most
crucial and formidable fixtures in contemporary politics. The story of the political titan'
s
ascent from complete obscurity to become one of the
most
influential
leaders in the world, responsible for making Germany more liberal and prosperous than it has ever been. Matthew Qvortrup weaves together
Merkel
's personal story with the vivid history of post-World War II Germany. This definitive biography follows
Angela
Merkel
from her bleak childhood in East Germany through her meteoric rise to prominence and power, and includes up-to-date information on recent pressing concerns, such as the current refugee crisis. How
Merkel
's inimitable personality and perspective allowed her and her staff of mostly female advisors to repeatedly outmaneuver a network of conservative male politicians"--Provided by publisher.
