Der kürzeste Witz, der im Frühjahr 2021 im politischen Berlin erzählt wurde, ging so: "Olaf Scholz wird Bundeskanzler". Im Winter des Jahres wurde er es tatsächlich. Dies ist die Geschichte eines Politikers, der belächelt und als Scholzomat verspottet wurde, den die eigene Partei lange nicht geliebt hat und der trotzdem fest daran glaubte, eines Tages Bundeskanzler der Bundesrepublik Deutschland zu werden. Die Scholz-Story hat auch deshalb etwas Unglaubliches, weil 2021 alles genauso gekommen ist, wie Olaf Scholz es vorhergesagt hat - und zwar schon 2018.

Gute Verlierer - die besseren Menschen? Manchmal fehlt einem nur das letzte Quentchen Glück zum Erfolg. Wolf Schneider schreibt über weltberühmte Persönlichkeiten, deren Namen man nicht nur mit Ruhm und Ehre in Verbindung bringt. Der eine scheitert kläglich: Ché Guevara. Andere wurden um ihren Sieg betrogen (Rainer Barzel) oder wie die legendäre Maria Stuart vom Thron gestoßen. Interessant an Schneiders Sicht ist, dass die ausgewählten Personen nicht allgemein-biographisch, sondern unter einem bestimmten Aspekt - dem des Erfolgs - betrachtet werden.

Robert A. Caro's life of Lyndon Johnson continues - one of the richest, most intensive, and most revealing examinations ever undertaken of an American President. The Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer/historian carries Johnson through his service in World War II and the foundation of his long-concealed fortune and the facts behind the myths he created about it. But the explosive heart of the book is Caro's revelation of the true story of the fiercely contested 1948 senatorial election.

The Passage of Power follows Lyndon Johnson through both the most frustrating and the most triumphant periods of his career - 1958 to 1964. It is a time that would see him trade the extraordinary power he had created for himself as Senate Majority Leader for what became the wretched powerlessness of a Vice President in an administration that disdained and distrusted him. Yet it was, as well, the time in which the presidency, the goal he had always pursued, would be thrust upon him in the moment it took an assassin’s bullet to reach its mark.
