In May 1999, the 50th anniversary of the Federal Republic of Germany was celebrated, prompting Guido Knopp to reflect on the nation's history through the lens of its seven chancellors: Konrad Adenauer, Ludwig Erhardt, Kurt-Georg Kiesinger, Willy Brandt, Helmut Schmidt, Helmut Kohl, and Gerhard Schröder. Rather than highlighting specific historical events, Knopp delves into the dynamics of power, exploring how it is exercised, who influences decisions within the Chancellor’s Office, and the relationships between chancellors and their advisors or rivals. He reveals many overlooked aspects of post-war German politics, demonstrating that history can be both thrilling and enlightening. As the September 2002 Bundestagswahl approaches, questions arise about Schröder's ability to regain public trust. Previous elections have shown voters' keen instincts in choosing their leaders. To assess Schröder's tenure, Knopp evaluates the anticipated changes hoped for by the public in 1998, examining which reforms succeeded and which were neglected. He also reflects on the legacy of Schröder’s predecessor, Kohl, the Chancellor of Unity, whose governance was marred by the donation scandal.
