Mandala’s account is as compelling as the man. Simply and beautifully written. Definitely a twentieth century legend for the as ages.

This is one of the best Autobiography ever written. Nelson Mandela, one of the most iconic figures in my life time, if not the Only One. Mandela's early years in rural South Africa, his experiences with the unjust world of apartheid, his time in prison all describe how character is made, nurtured, and ultimately revered. Only a strong character can embrace humility in spite of the injustice he and his family, and his race have suffered.this book is a a genuine reflection of Madiba's remarkable personal journey; a chronicle of the struggle against systemic racism, and the fight for human dignity. I am not from South Africa but I like to call him Madiba - his African name.Despite the injustice Mandela, his family, and the black of South Africa suffered, Mandela emerges as an icon... a man who despite being surrounded by injustice remained fundamentally committed to peace, humanity and justice for all -- and that includes his former perpetrators - The all white National PartyIt is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the depths of personal sacrifice, political activism, and the unshakable resolve required to overcome oppression - whether at home, in the world, and in politics.Warning: This book is really long and yet, so so worth it. It is well written and it will captivate you! Every leader will benefit in reading the character of a man like Mandela. Hate never serve anyone including the haters. Mandela is a rare bread.Give yourself a year to read it, if you're not an avid reader. Read 10 pages each night if you don't read long. It may take you 2 years, but it's OK. I have the Audio on Audible and I like to read the paper book while I listen to the audiobook. Using 2 sensories guarantees that I won't miss a bit.
