This book is a powerful and moving autobiography from one of our world’s greatest leaders. I believe that this is the longest autobiography I’ve ever read (625 Pages), but worth every minute. His story is one of courage, sacrifice, and the fight for justice. Nelson Mandela takes us on a ride from his childhood, his 27 years in prison, and his presidency.
We watch him sacrifice his marriage, relationships with his children, his career, and his life in order to force his government to bring freedom. It’s a must-read. I have been on my journey of reading every book I can find on apartheid, and this one has taught me so much. This is a five-star read.
Here are a couple of quotes:
“But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended”.
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
