Book Synopsis
* Subtitled 'The Father of the New Germany', this is a masterly portrait of a great statesman, Konrad Adenauer - one of the truly great leaders of the twentieth century

Trade Review
[ADENAUER] is well-researched and admirably written. It puts the German statesman 's extraordinary career into historical perspective. Above all it reveals Adenauer the man-with all his authority and strength, his persistence and endurance and his streak of ruthlessness and political cunning * INDEPENDENT *
The best biography I read this year * Anthony Howard, NEW STATESMAN *
This is pertinent stuff. * GUARDIAN *
[A] magisterial biography... written with warmth and lucidity, this is as much a book about the making of modern Germany as it is about the 20th century's foremost statesman. * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *
