Publisher's Note
A fascinating authorized biography of South African leader Nelson Mandela by a long-time acquaintance draws on personal letters, documents, and interviews with hundreds of people to chronicle his rise from imprisoned victim of apartheid to South Africa's presidential palace.

Industry Reviews
"With a great deal of additional research he brings to it a deep personal understanding of the politics of South Africa. Until the confidential records of the government and of the ANC during Mandela's presidency are opened to study, Sampson's will remain the definitive biography."
Literary Review - Hilda Bernstein (06/19/1999)

"No doubt in time other biographers will be tempted to lend substance to the little girl's perception, to smash the icon. Anthony Sampson's work will endure as a corrective to any such endeavor, as a lasting monument to Mandela's imperishable greatness."
Carlin

"Far more than a deeply informed biography, it becomes a history of South Africa since 1960."
