A review by ezreaadingo
Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela by Nelson Mandela
5.0
I don't know where to begin with this review. This is an amazing book written by an amazing human being. It takes you all the way from his days growing up in a village in the bush all the way through the establishment and formation of a unified government during the dismantling of apartheid.
The amazing thing about this book is that Mandiba tells his life story but is completely humble throughout and always does his best to make it about others (his family, his comrades, his enemies and his people).
I also learned a little bit about 20th century South African history. What a truly difficult and amazing place. I definitely wonder where the struggle for unification is in modern day, but Mandiba and all his ANC comrades did the absolute best they could to set South Africa up for success in future generations.
In a time when heroes and role models are being sought in all the wrong places (sports, music, movies), this man was a true role model that everyone could try to emulate.
When I think of Mandiba these words come to mind: Love, Humility, Faith, Strength, Endurance, Patience, and Perseverance!!!!
