Mandela: His Essential Life chronicles the life and legacy of one
of the twentieth century's most influential and admired statesmen.
Charting his development from remote rural roots to city lawyer,
freedom fighter, and then political leader, Peter Hain takes an
in-depth look at Mandela's rise through the ranks of the African
National Congress (ANC) and subsequent 27 years imprisonment on
Robben Island, as increasingly vocal protests against the
injustices of Apartheid brought his struggle against overwhelming
prejudice and oppression to the eyes of the world. This book
encompasses Mandela's inauguration as South Africa's first
democratically elected president, his "retirement" campaigns for
human rights, a solution to AIDS and poverty. It goes on to
chronicle his later years and death. Throughout, the humanity and
compassion of this extraordinary world leader shine through. The
author concludes with a critical analysis of his and the ANC's
achievements, its leadership's subsequent slide into corruption,
and whether under new direction South Africa can reclaim the values
and legacy of Mandela, and the 'rainbow nation' he created and led
to such global acclaim.
