Amazon.co.uk Review
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
內容簡介:
The riveting memoirs of the outstanding moral and
political leader of our time, A LONG WALK TO FREEDOM brilliantly
re-creates the drama of the experiences that helped shape Nelson
Mandela''s destiny. Emotive, compelling and uplifting, A LONG WALK
TO FREEDOM is the exhilarating story of an epic life; a story of
hardship, resilience and ultimate triumph told with the clarity and
eloquence of a born leader. ''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'' Donald Woods in the SUNDAY TIMES
