About the Author
Angela Merkel, the former Chancellor of Germany from 2005 to 2021, is a pivotal figure in modern European history, renowned for her steady leadership during crises such as the global financial meltdown, the Eurozone debt crisis, and the influx of refugees in 2015. Born in Hamburg in 1954 and raised in East Germany, she pursued a career in physics before entering politics following the fall of the Berlin Wall. Her pragmatic, science-informed approach to governance earned her the nickname 'Mutti' (Mom) among Germans, symbolizing her nurturing yet resolute style. In her memoir 'Freedom: Memoirs 1954 – 2021,' Merkel offers an intimate look at her personal journey, key decisions, and the principles that guided her through four terms in office, providing rare insights into the inner workings of power in a reunified Germany and the European Union.
