Nobel Peace Prize, president of the Africa National Congress, and head of the anti-apartheid movement, Nelson Mandela is one of the world’s great moral and political leaders. In his internationally bestselling memoir, Long Walk to Freedom, he tells the extraordinary story of his life, his epic struggle, setback, renewed hope and ultimate triumph. He eloquently and vividly details his journey: the development of his political consciousness, his pivotal role in the formation of the ANC Youth League, his dramatic years underground and his eventful quarter century behind bars. He also recalls the momentous events leading up to his triumph in South Africa’s first- ever multiracial elections in April 1994.
