The book about having a say: ZDF star journalist Marietta Slomka explains politics
Are voting and demonstrating really worth it? Who really has the most influence in Berlin? And why are political decisions often debated into the early hours of the morning? Communicating complicated facts to a broad audience is Marietta Slomka’s job. In Nights in the Chancellor’s Office she uses anecdotes and practical examples to explain how politics actually works and what insider terms you should know. She takes her readers on a journey from the foundations of democracy to current matters of global politics. At the same time, she gives a “quick course in economics” and insights into the contemporary world of the media, e.g., how politicians present themselves or how to recognise fake news. Once you have read this book, you are fit for any political debate!
“If after reading Nights in the Chancellor’s Office, when watching the TV news you feel as if, you have understood all the terms and see politics in a new light, then I have achieved everything that I wanted with this book.” Marietta Slomka
