Stephan Lamby

Governing in a time of war A Report from the German Center of Power

The beginning of a new era - live Stephan Lamby´s major report on a government in a state of emergency Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the German government has been under extreme pressure. Bad decisions could lead to an uncontrollable escalation of the war, and also to trouble and unrest at home. During these dramatic months, award-winning journalist Stephan Lamby has observed Olaf Scholz, Annalena Baerbock, Robert Habeck and Christian Lindner at close quarters. His gripping report gives exclusive insights into the heart of government during the most serious international crisis since the Second World War.

Throughout this time, the Chancellor and his cabinet have had to jettison many of their convictions about weapons, coal-generated power and debt. Vladimir Putin has forced them to adopt unfamiliar and unintended policies. What is the government doing to end the war? From the time the government took power in December 2021, Stephan Lamby has been travelling with its key decision-makers, accompanying them to Washington, to the capitals of Europe, to Asia’s megacities, to the Sahel and the Arabian Gulf, and also to different regions of Germany. And, of course, to Berlin. He has seen Olaf Scholz and his government make pivotal decisions and serious mistakes. Lamby’s investigative report paints a unique portrait of historic events – from inside the German centre of power.
