قرأت النسخة المترجمة عن دار الهلال ، نيلسون مانديلا قضى معظم سنوات عمره مناضلا من أجل حرية بلاده و شعبه و عندما تحقق ذلك ضرب أروع مثل للقائد الذي لا تهمه السلطة في شئ حيث تولى منصب الرئاسة لفترة رئاسية واحدة فقط .
الجدير بالذكر أن مانديلا لم يسع إلى إلغاء سيادة الأقلية البيضاء على الأغلبية الإفريقية لكي يحقق سيادة الأفارقة على الأقلية البيضاء و إنما كان يسعى لتحقيق المساواة بين جميع العرقيات .
و تعتبر السيرة الذاتية لنيلسون مانديلا دليلا هاما لكل من أراد التعرف على تفاصيل الحياة في جنوب إفريقيا منذ بداية القرن العشرين و حتى منتصف التسعينيات .

I really enjoyed reading about Mandela’s life. I also gained a lot of knowledge about the Apartheid in South Africa. Highly recommend to read this and learn about Mandela’s ideology.

The best autobiography I have ever read! Remains one of my favourite books of all time. If you love the movie/book Shawshank Redemption, you will find that Mandela was even more shrewd and intelligent in prison than Andy Dufresne and this is a true story. Highly recommend to anyone who loves biographies, Nelson Mandela, or anyone who wants to know all the details of his lifelong dedication to fight oppresion. You will see him in a new light, for sure.

4.5 stars, this is an incredible journey through the life of a fully human man - and he knows that about himself. I love that he was always exactly himself, never overly moral, but devoted to his cause. You can tell he struggled with what he made his priority - putting his activism over his family, but he was at peace with his choices. This is excellent, and I saw a few parallels to the Autobiography of Malcolm X, in their thoughts on activism and life priorities. Mandela is certainly my favorite of the two.
