   Ein Leben für Deutschland

   

   A compact biography that follows Helmut Schmidt from his Hamburg working-class roots and wartime experience to his ascent in the Social Democratic Party and service as finance minister, defense minister and chancellor; it emphasizes his pragmatic, crisis-tested leadership during the economic shocks and terrorist violence of the 1970s, his management of Cold War tensions and commitment to European cooperation, and his later role as an outspoken elder statesman shaping German public life.
