Nelson Mandela is a true hero of our times, loved and admired across the globe
for his dedication to the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, and for
justice and peace throughout the world. This book tells the story of his life,
from his carefree days as an ordinary village boy, to his unflinching leadership
of the ANC, the long years in prison and his eventual freedom and extraordinary
elevation to President of South Africa.
Abridged by acclaimed author Chris van Wyk and beautifully illustrated by Paddy
Bouma, this is an important book bringing an inspirational man to life for a
younger generation.
