Summary:

Angela Merkel looks back on her life in two German states--35 years in the GDR (German Democratic Republic), 35 years in reunified Germany. She shares insights into her meetings and conversations with the world's most powerful leaders and elucidates and how decisions were made that shape our times. This book is a unique insight into the inner workings of power--and is a decisive plea for freedom.
