#### One year after the federal election: The best-selling book about Merkel's downfall is now available in an updated paperback edition. At the end of her term, Angela Merkel faced perhaps the biggest challenge of her life. The Chancellor, who always appears in emergency situations, has reached the limits of her authority in this crisis. In his brilliant, best-selling book, * Robin Alexander describes the stunning decline of the Chancellor's power and, at the same time, the end of an era. The author tells the story from behind the scenes: the bitter and protracted struggle within the republic's inner circles of power, and the decisive showdown over Merkel's succession that tore apart the CDU/CSU alliance and contributed decisively to their defeat in the September 2021 elections. A well-researched book that shows how interconnected the absolute will to power and impotence in politics are.
