This book is the first serious biography of Angela Merkel. It tells the story of a professional and purposeful leader, sometimes called the "mathematician of power", reveals the personality, passions and past of an unremarkable, unassuming 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 woman of Polish descent who grew up under a communist dictatorship and was once a squatter and waitress in a pub, who went on to become one of the most powerful leaders in the world. “People know almost nothing about 35 years of my life,” she said in an interview with Stern magazine in 2004. Today, sixteen years later, that statement remains essentially true. Many have heard that she grew up in East Germany, studied natural sciences and became the first woman to hold the post of Federal Chancellor of Germany. 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 is noted for her snarky humor and ability to imitate voices - including that of the Pope - may surprise many. Matthew Quartrup, political commentator, journalist and author of the book, also explains why Frau Merkel spent much of her carefully collected political capital on promoting deeply unpopular policies. Why would a woman known primarily for her caution suddenly demonstrate such determination to the world? To answer this question, you need a complete history of her life.
