The Chancellor: The Remarkable Odyssey of Angela Merkel by Kati Marton

4.0

Very interesting portrait of the defacto Leader of Europe (she seemed to abhor the nickname) and all the more impressive given how private Merkel is.
Not a puff piece by any stretch, it definitely delves into her mistakes and deficits, but also describes the obstacles she overcame and the values she imbued.
Overall it paints a picture of a woman who wanted to do her best for as many people as she could. When asked how she wanted to be remembered Merkel answered "She tried". And, really, that's not a bad legacy to leave.
