This book is the first serious biography of Angela Merkel. It tells the story of a professional and dedicated leader, sometimes called the "mathematician of power", revealing the personality, passions and background of an unremarkable, modest quantum physicist who managed to rise from political obscurity to the heights of power in just a few months. The book traces the life and times of a Polish-born woman who grew up under a communist dictatorship and was a one-time squatter and waitress who went on to become one of the world's most powerful leaders. Many have heard that she grew up in East Germany, studied science and became the first woman to serve as Germany's Federal Chancellor. But the rest of the details of her life are much less known; the book reveals some pages of the life and personality traits of Angela Merkel. The fact that she has acerbic humor and an ability to imitate voices—including that of the Pope—may surprise many. Matthew Qvortrup, political commentator, journalist and book author, also explains why Frau Merkel has spent much of her carefully amassed political capital on promoting deeply unpopular policies. Why did a woman known primarily for her caution suddenly show the world such determination? To answer this question, you will need a complete story of her life.
