I've spent four years walking its streets, talking to historians, architects, archaeologists, anthropologists, politicians, city planners, visiting sights of joy, horror, beauty and madness, in search of Berlin. And here it is. Plonked on my desk. Out on Oct 5

Two years ago today I published In Search of Berlin, a personal take on the 800 years of my adopted home. I first lived here (in the East) as a young reporter in 1988. I'm so grateful for the reception the book received and to the many people who've been on the journey with me

Labour’s plans have caused huge controversy. But ‘100% digital’ Estonia shows how e-government can save time and money for ordinary people ✏️ John Kampfner thenewworld.co.uk/john-kampfner-…
The future of Moldova is in Europe! 🇪🇺🇲🇩 On this historic step forward, the people of Moldova have chosen the path of democracy, hope and opportunities. They have chosen Europe. Europa este Moldova. Moldova este Europa.

Off to the Romanian city of Timisoara later today for the last chapter of my book (more on that anon) and as a speaker at a summit on EU enlargement. Atmosphere will be buoyed by Moldova's (momentary) escape from Putin's clutches timisoarasummit.eu
Moldova isn't the only (small) ray of anti-populist sunshine in Europe this morning. In the run-off for a series of mayoralties in NRW, Germany's largest state, the far-right AfD lost decisively. Good night for Merz's CDU. SPD & Greens not trashed euronews.com/2025/09/28/ger…
Was Tikhon Khrennikov a true believer, a manipulator, or a reluctant accomplice in the repression of Soviet composers ? I talk among others to @frolovawalker and #Evgeny_Kissin in this @overcoatmedia documentary. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

On the day Starmer and King Charles welcome the terror that is Trump, why Britain, post-Brexit, has become a leader in Europe in terms of panic-laden and short-lived governments. foreignpolicy.com/2025/09/16/sta…
Writing a piece on Starmer's woes and Musk's incitement to violence @ForeignPolicy and came across these two videos, Blair 97 and Obama 08. Worth recalling we weren't always this bad youtube.com/watch?v=H4Zaqv… youtube.com/watch?v=Wk17f6…

President Obama's Election Night Victory Speech - November 6, 2012 in...
So Mandelson is sacked. What I find amusing is the extent to which many Brits cling to the view their politics are cleaner than others'. That's not my experience in 30 years of covering it (& dealing with people who got away with things) & now watching it from one step removed
This is the third shortlist this summer/autumn for @LucyAAsh. Not too shabby...
Delighted to see The Baton and The Cross shortlisted for the @BritishAcademy_ Book Prize. Feeling very honoured to be in the company of such extraordinary writers. I hope it helps to world to better understand how Russia's Church is a vital part of Putin's war machine.
Just pressed the button on my latest book, my eighth & most ambitious. Nothing beats this moment for relief. ‘Braver New World’, to be published spring 2026, looks at 10 countries where people & government have lessons for us in dealing with the world’s problems. More soon 📷📷2
With Israel preparing a new full-frontal assault, and with Europe being more sharply critical than at any time in years, the new chancellor faces a test of strength, writes John Kampfner. foreignpolicy.com/2025/08/20/ger…
Germany's paralysed torment on Israel/Gaza. This wasn't an easy piece to write. If you can't access it @ForeignPolicy It's also on my Substack foreignpolicy.com/2025/08/20/ger…
The Trumpification of German politicians and the far-right threats facing Friedrich Merz. My take on the first 100 days (this week) of the new German Chancellor theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Today unhappily marks the centenary of the publication of the first volume of Mein Kampf. Following my BBC Radio 4 one-hour documentary, and pieces for the Sunday Times and other UK outlets, here is my piece for Der Spiegel (in German) spiegel.de/geschichte/hun…
Starmer and Merz are opening a new chapter in relations. Until now the political conversation between the two countries hasn’t kept pace with the lived experience of Brits in Germany and the Germans in the UK. I see it all the time here in Berlin theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Just caught up with this important & fascinating programme. @johnkampfner has read the world’s most notorious book so you don’t have to. It is 100 years since the publication of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf. This isn’t just history. Its ideas live on … bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/b…
