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

funny hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

5.0

I already knew Angela Merkel was my favorite world leader in the new millennium and this book was just wildly affirming. I recommend it to anyone feeling jaded and ground down by the system (as I often am), because if you need inspiration then Mutti Angela is here. I have to give props to Kati Marton, too, because she is exactly the biographer to chronicle and summarize the extraordinary life of a thoughtful, meticulous, and self-effacing woman. I don't even care that her editors missed a few typos. This book deserves all the stars.
