The most influential politician in Europe. "The mathematician of power." A woman of exceptional determination. Angela Merkel. In attempts to look behind the curtain of the personal life of the Iron Frau, observers sometimes resorted to completely illogical conclusions. But this book, written by renowned biographer Kathy Marton, will tell, without exaggeration, the challenging life of the leader of the free world. The migration crisis in Germany, the conflict in Ukraine, the leadership of the country during a pandemic, the financial crisis of the eurozone - you can look at all these events through the eyes of Merkel. You will also learn how, without having the gift of eloquence or a spectacular appearance, maintain power for 16 years years and constantly strengthen its position. How, despite regular criticism from the media and the West, to pull Germany out of the global economic crisis without colossal losses for the country. How to skillfully mix management styles, alternating between masculine toughness and feminine softness, in order to win negotiations. How to forever remain in the hearts of millions of German citizens, being a foreigner to them.
