Product Description

From Amazon

The famously taciturn South African president reveals much of himself in Long Walk to Freedom. A good deal of this autobiography was written secretly while Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years on Robben Island by South Africa's apartheid regime. Among the book's interesting revelations is Mandela's ambivalence toward his lifetime of devotion to public works. It cost him two marriages and kept him distant from a family life he might otherwise have cherished. Long Walk to Freedom also discloses a strong and generous spirit that refused to be broken under the most trying circumstances--a spirit in which just about everybody can find something to admire.

From Publishers Weekly

Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and the first democratically elected president of South Africa, Mandela began his autobiography during the course of his 27 years in prison.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is well worth of my shelf space., July 4 2004

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela (Paperback)
You should read, at least, a book or two about biographies of such noble people as Nelson Mandela, whose lives have been a blessing to the world. This was a great inspirational book and helped me to realize how simple and small things in life could bring so much joy into one's life. Far too often, I personally take simple pleasures of life for granted. The freedom is not free and the book cites how the freedom is brought at the expense of sacrifices of our fathers. The book is very well written and what impresses me is Nelson Mandela's mastery of English language.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential, July 11 2011
This review is from: Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela (Paperback)
This should be required reading. I won't repeat what others have already said, I'll only join them by encouraging you to read this memoir by THE man of the 20th century, in my opinion.
