Previously published as Mandela's Way Written by the co-author of
international bestseller Long Walk to Freedom, Nelson Mandela:
Portrait of an Extraordinary Man presents fifteen powerful lessons
on life and leadership based on the life and work of Nelson Mandela
(1918 - 2013), whose fight against apartheid in South Africa has
become an enduring example of resistance against injustice and
oppression. A recipient of the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, Mandela is a
man who truly changed the course of world history and is arguably
the most inspirational figure of the past century. Stengel spent
almost three years with Mandela working on his bestselling
autobiography Long Walk to Freedom, and through that process became
a close friend. Written with the blessing of the Nelson Mandela
Foundation, to which the author will donate a percentage of his
royalties, Nelson Mandela: Portrait of an Extraordinary Man is an
inspirational book of wisdom that will encourage people of all ages
to look within themselves to improve their lives, to reconsider the
things they take for granted, and to think about the legacy they
leave behind.
Richard Stengel, now the editor of "Time, "journeyed to South
Africa in the late 1980s to chronicle life under apartheid. He
ended up spending months in a small rural town where the white
authorities were attempting to forcibly remove a black township. He
tells this moving story through the lives of three families--one
white, one black, one Indian--over the course of a single day for
each of them. The private lives of each family reveal what it was
like to live in a society where everyone is judged by the color of
his or her skin. Stengel reveals the hopes and dreams of each of
these families, and their resilient optimism about the future. In a
new introduction, Stengel describes how some of those hopes even
came to pass with the eventual release of Nelson Mandela and the
election of the country's first truly democratic government.
