Die Kanzlerin, die aus der Kälte kam

Even after the end of her sixteen-year chancellorship and more than three decades since she entered politics, Angela Merkel remains an enigma. No German chancellor before her has so abruptly and completely abandoned or even reversed political principles, positions, and values as Angela Merkel has. Yet many people in Germany and around the world still associate her with reliability, credibility, security, and prosperity. "The Chancellor Who Came from the Cold" is the biography that, after years of research, reveals many previously unknown facts about Merkel. This biography demands a complete reassessment of the former chancellor. For the first time, Merkel's past, preferences, family, and companions are described in detail. Piece by piece, a distorted image created with great perseverance and proven falsehoods is revised. This distorted image was crafted by Merkel along with compliant staff, biographers, and journalists. However, the Merkel scandal goes far beyond Merkel herself: it is rooted in decades of harmful collaboration between leading media, corporate-affiliated foundations, and supranational institutions, which have long since detached our country from the foundations of the Basic Law.
