Whilst there are many Nelson Mandela books out there, it's hard to see how many could beat this. Meredith's style is easily understandable- though not the most lively. Still, the book remains engaging throughout due to it's fascinating content as it covers alll areas- Mr Mandela's childhood, rise in politics, imprisonment, release, negotations & term as presedent. The book highlights the horror of Apartheid, & it's destructive effects on both sides. The author remains objective, often critical of Mandela & the ANC, thus giving greater incite into the whole chapter of South African history. As previously stated, the book would have benefited from more personality in it's style, but don't let this put you off finding out allll the facts of such an important struggle & great man.
