A review by melenniumgrl
The Chancellor: The Remarkable Odyssey of Angela Merkel by Kati Marton
5.0
Coming from a German family, I have heard many opinions on the Chancellor’s tenure. I think this book does a great job of covering the majority of her years as a leader and presents the human side of a person who by all accounts has kept her personal life personal.
Living in the U.S., I can say that the priority of living globally is not systemic when it should be given we are a nation built by the rest of the world. I think the Chancellor’s upbringing as well as her decision making in the face of needing to navigate authoritarianism abroad and domestically speaks to the world’s struggle.
There are both problems and solutions that grow beyond physical borders. There are histories of tragedy that reawaken with empowered ignorance. If we fail to acknowledge these realities jointly, opportunities to succeed will be harder to achieve. We are a worldwide sum of our parts and the future of our humanity lies with humanity.
