Critic Reviews

"Burns with the luminosity of faith in the invincible nature of human hope and dignity....Unforgettable" (Andre Brink)

"Enthralling.... Mandela emulates the few great political leaders such as Lincoln and Gandhi, who go beyond mere consensus and move out ahead of their followers to break new ground." (Sunday Times)

Nelson Mandela is a legend and his story is incredible.
The narrator was good and did well pronouncing African words- but honestly the narrator should have been South African. I found the American accent quite distracting and disappointing as there are many South Africans who would have done a great job too.

I would recommend this book to everyone. An important period in South Africa’s history of which is important for all nations to be educated in so that oppression and racial discrimination is personalised and isn’t allowed to occur again. Well written account, well spoken and thoroughly enjoyable book.

Apartheid- a moving account of oppression.
