Summary
Drawing upon an unparalleled well of sources close to Angela Merkel, New York Times Berlin correspondent Melissa Eddy traces her childhood in East Germany as the daughter of a clergyman, her meteoric rise to power, and her more recent public acclaim, as well as the numerous setbacks she faced along the way both from political rivals and from men in her own party who scoffed at her ambition.
