This is a book review of Kati Marton’s The Chancellor: The Remarkable Odyssey of Angela Merkel (Simon & Schuster, 2021).
Many can plausibly claim to have had a hand in Germany’s remarkable transition from pariah state of the first order in 1945, to what British scholar Timothy Garton Ash termed in 2013 “about as solid a liberal bourgeois democracy as you can find on earth … civilized, free, prosperous, law abiding, moderate and cautious.” But on any list of contributors to Germany’s transformation, Angela Merkel would surely be at or near the top. A consistent and firm defender of the European Union and NATO, Merkel has also been arguably the twenty-first century’s most consequential advocate for “liberal bourgeois democracy,” to use Ash’s phrase. In December 2021, Merkel stepped off the national and world stage as Germany’s first female Chancellor after holding her position continuously since 2005.

Freedom - Memories 1954 - 2021 - Grand Format
For sixteen years, Angela Merkel was Chancellor of Germany, and at the forefront of European and international politics. In her memoirs, she looks back on her life in two German states - in East Germany until 1990, and in reunified Germany thereafter. How did she, coming from the East, rise to the top of her party, the CDU, to become the first woman to hold the office of chancellor ? And how did she then become one of the most powerful heads of government in the Western world ? What guided her ? In "Freedom", Angela Merkel recounts daily life in the chancellor's office as well as the dramatic days and nights when she made far-reaching decisions in Berlin, Brussels and beyond. She traces the long lines of change in international cooperation, and reveals the pressure politicians face when seeking solutions to complex problems in a globalized world. Here, she takes us behind the scenes of international politics, demonstrating both the importance of personal conversations and, crucially, their limits. Reflecting on politics in a time of increasing confrontation and division, Angela Merkel's memoirs offer a unique insight into the inner workings of power - and are a determined and timely plea for freedom.
