Alan Crawford joined Bloomberg News as German government editor in January 2006, six weeks after Merkel was sworn in, and steered coverage of her first and second terms as her global importance grew. He lived in Warsaw and Prague after the fall of the Berlin Wall and has reported from across Europe. He previously worked on the Scotsman and the Sunday Herald in Glasgow and in Edinburgh as Highland, political and special correspondent. Tony Czuczka is an American foreign correspondent who joined Bloomberg News in 2009 as the political correspondent covering Chancellor Merkel, her re-election and the eruption of the European debt crisis. For the past four years, he has had access to Merkel granted to only a handful of foreign reporters, from invitation-only gatherings where she displays rare flashes of humor to major global conferences that expose the strains of leadership. He previously worked for The Associated Press in Europe and the U.S.
'...a crisp new account... The Bloomberg correspondents' book is as much about the course of the eurozone crisis as it is about the German chancellor.' (Financial Times, June 2013) 'In their book Bloomberg News journalists Alan Crawford and Tony Czuczka track Merkel's cautious course, often criticized as faltering and hesitant, through the uncharted waters of Europe's subprime, economic and sovereign debt crisis.' (Bloomberg, June 2013) 'The two authors tell the euro story well, but their most interesting material is about her past. Such details, which include her upbringing in communist East Germany, her position as a woman in a man's world and her background as a research chemist, help to define her domestic politics and her approach to the euro.' (The Economist, July 2013) '...an insightful political biography.' (The Financialist, July 2013) 'For David Cameron, the significant political relationship in Europe is with Germany's chancellor, Angela Merkel. What makes her tick should be of crucial importance and an insight can be found in Alan Crawford and Tony Czuczka's Angela Merkel: A Chancellorship Forged in Crisis ' (Total Politics, August 2013) 'Czuczka and Crawford raise some pointed, timely questions about her analysis and handling of the euro crisis that have shaped her chancellorship.' (Irish Times, August 2013) "This book is absolutely fascinating. If I had my way it would be on the curriculum in secondary schools and third level institutions all over Ireland." (Irish Independent, September 2013)
