Equal parts freedom fighter and statesman, Nelson Mandela
bestrode the world stage for the past three decades, building a
legacy that places him in the pantheon of history's most exemplary
leaders.
As a foreign correspondent based in South Africa, author John
Carlin had unique access to Mandela during the post-apartheid years
when Mandela faced his most daunting obstacles and achieved his
greatest triumphs. Carlin witnessed history as Mandela was released
from prison after twenty-seven years and ultimately ascended to the
presidency of his strife-torn country.
Drawing on exclusive conversations with Mandela and countless
interviews with people who were close to him, Carlin has crafted an
account of a man who was neither saint nor superman. Mandela's
seismic political victories were won at the cost of much personal
unhappiness and disappointment.
Knowing Mandela offers an intimate understanding of one of the
most towering and remarkable figures of our age.
