The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela

Paul Baggaley

Fantastic autobiography of one of my heroes. Don't let the size of this book deter you, it's a very easy to read and gripping story that compels you to keep on reading. Not sure if there has been an updated version to include his later life after being elected as President - my volume ends at this point. In many ways how he performed in office was an achievement to equal those of his earlier life. Regardless, it's a brilliant book about an amazing man - surely one of the towering figures of the last century.

A Long Walk to Freedom

Antonio Marini

Interessante descrizione dell'infanzia e dei primi passi di Mandela come politico.<br />Per il momento non vi ho trovato analisi politiche o strategiche degne di nota e a volte il suo infantilismo politico è addirittura sconcertate.<br />Sono fiducioso di trovare un Mandela più maturo nelle parti successive della sua b

Timeo Williams

The autobiography started with Nelson's early years to old age, while also providing historical context about South Africa. Nelson took the harder, longer path towards his goals, and South Africa and the world has benefited from his actions.
