Nelson Mandela: A Biography Book

Born in 1918, Nelson Mandela's initial response to the institutionalized racism of South Africa was a militant belief in African control and distrust of collaboration with whites. This comprehensive biography by British journalist Martin Meredith draws on interviews with Mandela and colleagues to trace his evolution from political prisoner to leader of a multiracial democracy. Meredith also cogently depicts the complex personality of an autocratic, often remote man "more at ease with strangers than ... friends," who sacrificed much of his private life to the collective struggle. Nelson Mandela is essential reading for understanding modern South Africa.Read More

  • Product Description

    In an age of cynical politics and mutual distrust, Nelson Mandela's moral courage and generosity of spirit proved the key to effecting a peaceful end to apartheid in South Africa in 1994. There is perhaps no other leader in the world today who elicits the same admiration and respect.

    In this, the first full-scale biography of Nelson Mandela, Martin Meredith vividly captures the epic arc of a life defined by struggle against the brutality of apartheid and its eventual defeat. He provides fascinating insights into the enduring friendships Mandela forged among whites and blacks alike, into the influential role played by his communist colleagues, and into his turbulent personal life.

    As a champion of peace and a father of a new nation, Nelson Mandela is a hero in a world where heroes are few in number; Meredith's brilliant biography stands as a tribute to that heroism.
