This is an automatically translated description

This book is an all-encompassing, inclusive and fascinating biography of a prominent European leader who has been in power in Germany for 16 years.

Її can be easily recognised by her unchanged hairstyle and simple cut jackets. However, very little is known about her childhood, youth and personal life of the key figure of the Western politician. Even in her home country, Merkel remains a mystery, and no biographer has yet been able to describe her not as a prominent political figure, but as a person and a woman.

Journalist Kathy Marton was able to create a rich and versatile portrait of a woman who is admired and criticised, roasted and revered. The author has supplemented this book with conversations with Merkel's mentors, friends and colleagues, enriching it with unique stories that have never been told elsewhere.

How did she manage to transform Germany into the leading European power? How did a person with such simple rhetoric and outward appearance achieve political longevity in the digital world? How did she manage to change the perception of a woman in power? How did Merkel become Europe's most influential leader and what strength of character is behind the unstoppable leader of the German government?
