A wonderful, fully-illustrated celebration of the life of one of the most inspiring and respected leaders of our time.
This
book pays tribute to the life of Nelson Mandela with a unique
collection of photographs from throughout his life. Mandela has become a
household name, respected by everyone everywhere, from grandmothers to
schoolchildren.
Not so many people would recognise his other
names, and he is a man who has been known by many names throughout his
life. Nelson Rolihlahla Dalibhunga Mandela came from what most people
would regard as a poor background, yet his family were aristocrats among
the Xhosa people of the Transkei in South Africa. From the time he was a
boy he was destined, as his father before him had been, to become an
advisor at the court of the Xhosa king, but no one could have predicted
that young Rolihlahla would one day become an outlaw known as "The Black
Pimpernel" or a statesman of international standing—President Mandela.
