This book should be read slowly, over several months, in order to absorb a multitude of facts, and the growth of the man who wrote it. It’s laced with humor, love, judgment, and the inexorable evolution of Nelson Mandela’s soul.

It was a pleasure and honor to have read this book. “Long walk to freedom” chronicles the life of Nelson Mandela told in his words about the journey from a small village boy, to a freedom fighter, fighting for the equality and liberty of the oppressed South African majority under apartheid.
