BERLIN – Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s highly anticipated memoir, Freedom, was published last month to much fanfare. Co-authored with Beate Baumann, her longtime chief of staff and confidant, the book offers an in-depth look at Merkel’s extraordinary life and career, and has been translated into more than 30 languages.
