Description
Nelson Mandela: A Life Revealed This authoritative biography offers an unparalleled insight into the life of one of the 20th century's greatest statesmen. Written by renowned biographer Anthony Sampson, who had a fifty-year relationship with Mandela, this book draws on extensive conversations, unpublished letters and interviews to reveal the complexities of his private and public life. Mandela's remarkable story is one of opposition to apartheid, 27 years of incarceration, and ultimately, leadership of South Africa. Sampson's meticulous research provides a nuanced portrayal of the man who rocked a continent and changed its future. Updated with a new afterword by distinguished journalist John Battersby, this biography remains the definitive account of Mandela's life. With unprecedented access to Mandela's personal correspondence and conversations, Sampson sheds light on the tragic tension between his private and public lives. This is a compelling and deeply humanising portrait of one of history's most significant figures.
