The world hasn't seen or heard much from former German Chancellor Angela Merkel since she stepped down in 2021. Merkel was the first chancellor to do so on her own volition and on her own time schedule. And so it continues. Merkel, as planned, is preparing to release her new memoir next week. Titled 'Freedom,' the book recalls some of her biggest political moments. Its more than 700 pages are an attempt to explain Merkel's decisions during 16 years in office and how they are still affecting Germany and Europe. In other words, this is Merkel's legacy-building. Assessments by Matthew Karnitschnig, the long-time Merkel contemporary witness and today's chief Europe correspondent for Politico.
