This book describes six years of observations on a colony of chimpanzees living in an outdoor enclosure at the Arnhem Zoo in the Netherlands, conducted by Dutch primatologist Frans de Waal and his graduate students. The story of an aging patriarch and younger pretenders undermining his power. Violence and peace, sex and status, like the early seasons of “Game of Thrones”, but documentary.

For all politicians this book is a “must-read”.
