For almost twenty years, Willi Lemke was considered the epitome of the football manager.
With his later missions as education senator and UN special advisor, his life's work links two of the most important areas of society - sport and politics.

This book offers inside views from the control centres of both areas. It traces the development, successes and failures of a man who was born as a refugee child on the Baltic Sea and became an important contemporary witness to sixty years of German politics and international sports history.
