LONG WALK TO FREEDOM: Nelson Mandela - Little Brown

The autobiography or Nelson Mandela. As recipient of the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, president of the African National Congress, and head of the antiapartheid movement, Nelson Mandela is one of the world's great moral and political leaders. In his internationally bestselling memoir, Long Walk to Freedom, he tells the extraordinary story of his life - an epic of struggle, setback, renewed hope, and ultimate triumph. He eloquently and vividly details his journey: the development of his political consciousness, his pivotal role in the formation of the ANC Youth League, his dramatic years underground - which led to a sentence of life imprisonment in 1964 - and his eventful quarter century behind bars. He also movingly recalls the momentous events leading up to his triumph in South Africa's first-ever multiracial elections in April 1994. Here is one of the most powerful and inspiring stories of our time -a book that everyone will want to own and read.
