Angela Merkel's autobiography, titled "Freiheit," is set to release on November 26, offering a reflective look at her 16-year tenure as Germany's Chancellor.

The memoir delves into her interactions with global leaders like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, and her approach to complex political issues.

Merkel portrays herself as a pragmatic leader, often navigating through differing opinions with a focus on maintaining balance, a strategy she attributes to advice from Pope Francis.

Her narrative suggests a critical view of Trump's unilateral approach to international relations, contrasting it with her multilateral stance.

Merkel also addresses criticisms of her policies, particularly regarding Russia and Ukraine, defending her decisions as necessary under the circumstances.

The autobiography aims to reclaim the narrative of her legacy, presenting her as a steadfast advocate for liberal international order.
