His life's project is the anatomy of power. What does it do to the powerful – and what does it do to him, the combative skeptic? Wolfgang Herles, a "ZDF legend" (Bild) and "more independent than most German television journalists" (Financial Times), describes the formation and transformation of the Republic through the lens of his own life. Both are three-quarters of a century old – and he is almost always where the action is. He causes friction; as head of the ZDF's capital studio, the Chancellor has him removed. Afterwards, he accompanies economic giants from Bill Gates and Steve Jobs to Jack Welch and George Soros through a time when globalization is holding the world spellbound. New, world-shaking crises and encounters with the greatest contemporary writers follow. Hardly anyone else has followed events in such a multifaceted way. Again and again, it also mirrors the life of the seemingly omnipresent reporter, moderator, and novelist. Thus, he also grapples with his own profession, experiencing the pitfalls of talk show hosting and the subservience of the media. Far more than an autobiography. An accurate portrait of his time.
