Editorial Review:

Product Description:
An international hero, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and leader of South Africa's antiapartheid movement chronicles his life, including his tribal years, his time spent in prison, and his return to lead his people. 175,000 first printing. Major ad/promo.

Amazon.com Review:
The famously taciturn South African president reveals much of himself in Long Walk to Freedom. A good deal of this autobiography was written secretly while Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years on Robben Island by South Africa's apartheid regime. Among the book's interesting revelations is Mandela's ambivalence toward his lifetime of devotion to public works. It cost him two marriages and kept him distant from a family life he might otherwise have cherished. Long Walk to Freedom also discloses a strong and generous spirit that refused to be broken under the most trying circumstances--a spirit in which just about everybody can find something to admire.

- Inspiration, Hero, and Role Model
Nelson Mandela's life and actions are an inspiration! "Long Walk to Freedom" should be read by every person alive. There is so much to learn from this book. Mandela gives us hope that the humankind can do better. He shows the path of peace and hope instead of hatred and revenge.

- Portrait of a Leader for All Times
If you read only one autobiography this year, I recommend this one.

Leadership breakthroughs are few and far between. They are even rarer in the political arena. Although I had closely followed the path to an integrated democracy in South Africa (and worked hard on the anti-apartheid sanctions and boycotts), much of Nelson Mandela's struggle was hidden to me at the time. Only after the reconciliation had gone on for a number of years did it become apart how remarkable this man's contribution has been.

Recently, I read Playing the Enemy which described some of the nuances in how Mandela conceived of creating a peaceful transition through an unauthorized sole negotiation from a prison cell. Those stories impressed me even more. Now, I had to read the autobiography. ... Read More

- Nelson Mandela
I have been reading the "Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela" and I find it completely delightfully and thoroughly enjoyable. It is very well written and the experiences are more than interesting. Nelson Mandela's life is very fascinating and it is so insightful to gain the background and foundation for the life we all know so well. Very inspiring.

- Outstanding Book....Great Inspiration!
I first bought this book in paperback form at the PX while stationed at Fort Hood. It was a long and outstanding read! I understand that there are some things that Mr Mandela may have decided to leave out i.e.: his linking to various political uprisings against the aparthied government. I wish that he would have discussed that part of his life more. Nonetheless, this book tells the story of a man who came from humble beginnings to become the first black president of post-aparthied South Africa. I had to buy copy of this book for the Kindle. If you want a piece of modern history, and a good long read as well, get this book. I recommend it to everyone!
