During the 1982 election campaign, Petra Kelly, the symbolic figure of the German Greens, was the outward star of the movement, but internally, the erosion began. She worked until she was utterly exhausted, as she was unable to set boundaries. In 1982, Kelly received the alternative Nobel Peace Prize, and in 1983 she was elected to the Bundestag, where she remained until 1990. As her star began to fade, she focused on foreign policy, with Gert Bastian accompanying her like a father and secretary on all her travels. The deaths of Gert Bastian and Petra Kelly in October 1992 not only shook the political landscape. Alice Schwarzer extensively explores the question of how Gert Bastian's "expanded suicide" could have occurred in her book. It is a hard-hitting analysis of the neurotic relationship that brought the lovers to their personal limits. A classic.
