About this listen
Timely, intimate and important, the long-awaited memoirs from one of the most influential leaders of our times
For 16 years, Angela Merkel was Chancellor of Germany. She led the country through numerous crises, shaping both Germany and international politics with her actions and attitudes. In her memoirs, co-written with her long-time political advisor Beate Baumann, she reflects on her life in two German states – 35 years in the German Democratic Republic, 35 years in reunited Germany.
More intimately than ever before, she talks about her childhood, youth, and studies in the GDR and the dramatic year of 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell and her political life began. She also shares recollections and insights from her meetings and conversations with the world's most powerful people. Discussing significant national, European, and international turning points, she shows how the decisions were made that shaped our times. Her book offers a unique insight into the inner workings of power – and is a compelling plea for freedom.

sense of duty! and the story behind.
enjoyed it very much. is sense of duty too much naivity in the current days ? I think she is one of a kind and I also think the world would be a better place with more women and particularly politicians like that.

A woman to admire and respect
As previously reviews have said, she is someone who was well qualified to lead the government in a country that was split and then reunified, which is such a rare event. I like and respect her but am so glad I listened on Audible as there is such a lot of detail to take in andI Juliet Stevenson was the perfect choice to narrate, she did an excellent job. Really glad I listened and wish there were more highly qualified and intelligent people leading the world today.

Inspiring
Admiration and respect is what this book left me feeling, I think her life’s in east Germany was a training ground for her later role as chancellor, it allowed her to see both sides clearly, before and after freedom, and her scientific background helped her to separate facts from preconceived beliefs, which is uncommon in politics. Her way of expressing her experiences with other countries leaders is honest and respectful, a balance so difficult to obtain. I throughly recommend it.
