Summary
The autobiography of global human rights icon Nelson Mandela is 'riveting . . . both a brilliant description of a diabolical system and a testament to the power of the spirit to transcend it' (Washington Post).
Nelson Mandela was one of the great moral and political leaders of his time: an international hero whose lifelong dedication to the fight against racial oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidency of his country. After his triumphant release in 1990 from more than a quarter-century of imprisonment, Mandela was at the center of the most compelling and inspiring political drama in the world. As president of the African National Congress and head of South Africa's antiapartheid movement, he was instrumental in moving the nation toward multiracial government and majority rule. He is still revered everywhere as a vital force in the fight for human rights and racial equality.

Long Walk to Freedom is his moving and exhilarating autobiography, destined to take its place among the finest memoirs of history's greatest figures. Here for the first time, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela told the extraordinary story of his life -- an epic of struggle, setback, renewed hope, and ultimate triumph.

A hero who fought till he succeeded. I recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the struggle in South Africa and the most influential African leaders.

Great book. Really didn't understand the severity of South Africa during those times. Really helps give perspective to oppressed people in current times.
