On November 26, St. Martin’s will publish FREEDOM, a memoir by Angela Merkel, the first woman chancellor of Germany. They will publish simultaneously with sister companies Kiepenheuer & Witsch (Germany) and Pan Macmillan (UK), and the book will release in “many other countries around the world.” The book, in which she “reflects on her life in two German states—35 years in the German Democratic Republic, 35 years in reunited Germany,” is co-written with Beate Baumann, Merkel’s longtime advisor.
