Everyone should know the life story of Nelson Mandela, one of the
greatest leaders of all time, the first black president of South
Africa, the most famous African, and a major world statesman. His
inspiring life receives a fresh retelling in this new biography
written especially for students and general readers. This volume is
an enjoyable, authoritative, and balanced way to not only
understand a great man, but also to understand a critical time in
world history and race relations. Mandela's quest for racial
justice for black South Africans as a leader of the African
National Congress led to twenty-seven years of imprisonment. South
African Apartheid consumed the attention of the world, coming to a
head in the 1980s. With intense international pressure on the
Apartheid government, Mandela was finally freed in 1990. Through
the landmark presidency of South Africa and post Nobel Peace Prize
years up until today, he has continued as a peacemaker and agent
for change. Chapter 1 covers his birth into a strong Xhosa family
and clan, with cultural, historical, and geographical context, and
the next chapter follows his elite education path, taking into
consideration the forces and people who helped shape the future
leader. Chapter 3 discusses his law practice, African National
Congress work, and his first wife. Chapters 4-6 continue with his
growing political involvement and family. Chapter 7 and 8 deal with
the long imprisonment and then freedom. The final chapters discuss
his presidency and Nobel Peace Prize and life today. A timeline,
photo essay, and selected bibliography complement the narrative.
