Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela
by Nelson Mandela
11 years ago, I was lucky enough to travel to South Africa to visit my sister who was studying there at the time. While we were there, we visited Robben Island where Nelson Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years as a political prisoner. It was an incredibly moving experience to learn more about this amazing man and to see the place where he was imprisoned and endured so much in his quest to end apartheid and create a democratic government in South Africa.
This memoir follows Mandela’s life from childhood through the swearing in ceremony where he took the oath of office as South Africa’s first democratically elected President. It is a fascinating and empowering read about an amazing and selfless man who changed the course of history.
