Frankly speaking

Hermann Otto Solms was a member of the German Bundestag for almost half his life. As one of the FDP's most important figures, Solms shaped and influenced both politics and the party. Whether as a parliamentarian or in his private decisions: It was always the liberal core idea of self-determination that guided Hermann Otto Solms in his choices. In his memoirs, he reflects not only on his own career but also on that of the party: his aristocratic background, his fatherless childhood, his experiences as a boarding school student, his entry into politics, and the ups and downs of the FDP over the past five decades. His perspective on the development of the parliamentary system from the Brandt era to the Merkel era is also insightful, showing the path our democracy has taken over the last five decades.
