Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela
by Nelson Mandela
I have had this book on my shelves for years and always been daunted by it. I have been slowly reading it over the last few months and it's incredibly interesting and educational.
It covers Nelson Mandela’s life from childhood to becoming president of South Africa. It also explains clear the history of South Africa and the various local tribes. It gave me a much better understand of the situation at the time and was accessible and easy to understand. Mandela’s high ideals and his fight for freedom comes through loud and clear in this. The book is clearly about the fight for civil rights.
The book is well written, however a little dry at times and written with little emotion. However it is an excellent memoir of an incredible man. Its 100% worth a read and I really enjoyed finding out more.
