The controversial the biography, "Legacy: the Kohl Protocols". A court awarded former chancellor Helmut Kohl record damages on Thursday in a lawsuit against his one-time ghostwriters for publishing an embarrassing unauthorized biography. "This is the highest sum ever awarded by a German court in a right to privacy case," the city's district court said in a statement. Kohl served for 16 years, steering the country through the final years of the Cold War and the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall. Over a decade later, Schwan used the material to co-author the biography "Legacy: the Kohl Protocols", which was published in late 2014 and became a bestseller - infuriating Kohl, who later won a court case halting further print runs.
