My Take
Gerhard Schröder is a genuinely divisive figure, and that is precisely why I find him compelling. A lawyer who clawed his way to the German chancellorship and governed from 1998 to 2005, he led a bold SPD-Green coalition and pushed reforms that still shape debate today. His post-office turn toward lobbying and consulting has drawn heavy criticism, and fairly so, yet there is a consistency to the man: he follows his own convictions regardless of the backlash. Writing his memoirs feels of a piece with that, an insistence on owning his decisions. Politicians who refuse easy verdicts always hold my attention.
