A moving biography of one of the world's most inspiring leaders.
He was a child of royalty, born and raised to defend tradition. But his
African name - Rolihlahla, meaning 'tree shaker' - hinted at a very
different future. Nelson Mandela would spend most of his life shaking
his country to its roots.
This newly updated edition of New York Times veteran Bill Keller's
moving biography looks back on Mandela's life, offering a clear-eyed
view of his legacy and bringing his remarkable story to a new generation
of readers.
In February 1994, Nelson Mandela visited Robben Island, a
desolate rock where he had been a prisoner for 27 years. Days later, his
ideals would triumph in an election that changed the climate of
oppression in South Africa. This inspiring biography looks at the events
that led him from his
tribal homeland to the centre of the struggle for racial equality in South Africa.
