“Extensive biography of the great statesman. 678pp. Large and Heavy volume. “”The life of Nelson Mandela, from the personal and the global perspective, is one of the epic stories of the twentieth century. It is also one of the most inspiring. Twenty years ago, Mandela was an almost forgotten figure languishing in jail on Robben Island: today, as he leaves office as President of South Africa, he is one of the most widely admired leaders on earth. By giving Anthony Sampson unprecedented access to 27 years’ worth of unpublished correspondence from prison, as well as to other unpublished writings including his original, suppressed, autobiography, Mandela has enabled Sampson to write the most comprehensive account of his life to date.”” Extra postage will be required for orders outside UK – please enquire in advance Pages a little toned otherwise VG in VG dustjacket”
