"Ich war Bild" by Kai Diekmann is a retrospective through his own glasses. The former editor-in-chief of the "Bild" reveals in his book what it was like at Germany's largest tabloid newspaper at the time.

The approximately 550 pages of his memoirs are captivating is the way Diekman tells contemporary history from his personal perspective – subjectively. The 58-year-old was at the helm from 2001 to early 2017. He is one of the founders of the social media agency and media agency Storymachine.
