    Résumé:

    The definitive biography of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, detailing the remarkable rise and political brilliance of the most powerful, and elusive, woman in the world. No modern leader has so ably confronted Russian aggression, provided homes to over a million refugees, and calmly unified Europe at a time when other countries are becoming more divided. But Marton also describes Merkel's many challenges, such as her complicated relationship with President Obama, who she at one point refused to speak to.
