Nelson Mandela is one of the great moral and political leaders of our time: an international hero whose lifelong dedication to the fight against racial oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidency of his country. Since his triumphant release in 1990 from more than a quarter century of imprisonment, Mandela has been at the center of the most inspiring political drama in the world. Mandela: An Illustrated Autobiography tells the extraordinary story of Nelson Mandela’s life, an epic of struggle, setback, renewed hope, and ultimate triumph. With nearly 200 stunning photographs – many of them published here for the first time – and with text adapted from his remarkable memoir Long Walk to Freedom, this moving book captures the indomitable spirit of a moral giant and dramatically portrays his struggle toward freedom. Mandela’s journey is vividly and eloquently recounted: the development of his political consciousness, his pivotal role in the formation of the African National Congress Youth League, his years underground – which led to a sentence of life imprisonment in 1964 – and his twenty-seven years behind bars. He also movingly recounts the momentous events leading up to his victory in South Africa’s first-ever multiracial elections in 1994.
