Produktbeschreibung
Nelson Mandela, who emerged from twenty-six years of political imprisonment to lead South Africa out of apartheid and into democracy, is perhaps the world's most admired leader, a man whose life has been led with exemplary courage and inspired conviction. Now Anthony Sampson, who has known Mandela since 1951 and has been a close observer of South Africa's political life for the last fifty years, has produced the first authorized biography, the most informed and comprehensive portrait to date of a man whose dazzling image has been difficult to penetrate. With unprecedented access to Mandela's private papers (including his prison memoir, long thought to have been lost), meticulous research, and hundreds of interviews--from Mandela himself to prison warders on Robben Island, from Walter Sisulu and Oliver Tambo to Winnie Mandela and F. W. de Klerk, and many others intimately connected to Mandela's story--Sampson has composed an enlightening and necessary story of the man behind the myth.

Rezensionen
'A magisterial, detailed and invaluable account of one of this century's greatest figures ... it is hard to believe that a better biography will ever be written.' Justin Cartwright, Sunday Telegraph

'Warmly to be welcomed, not least because it is more substantial and revealing than Mandela's bestselling autobiography...a great leap forward in our understanding of a man who is both enigmatic and private...Anthony Sampson has carried out his difficult commission with skill and sensitivity' Independent

'This will be the last word on Mandela for years to come...it will be hard to improve upon this crowning conclusion to Sampson's long career as a loving and expert chronicler of South Africa' Evening Standard

'Measured, detailed without a moment of tedium, incisive in its perceptions and at times, profoundly moving' Observer
