Nelson Mandela is a long road to freedom. A leather-bound gift book.

The Long Road to Freedom is a book that is the autobiography of Nelson Mandela, an international hero and one of the greatest moral and political authorities of our time. This inspiring epic life story, told with the clarity and eloquence of a born leader, spans memories begun in 1974 at Robben Island Prison and completed by Nelson Mandela after 27 years in prison.
One of the main achievements of Nelson Mandela is the transition to a democratic form of government without civil war and with minimal loss of life. For millions of people, he represents the triumph of dignity and hope over despair and hatred, self-discipline and love over persecution and shame.
This book is not just an autobiography. It chronicles the life of a unique man who overcame many personal, clan, and party biases and waged a relentless struggle for freedom even after being arrested, isolated, and imprisoned. This is the story of a public figure and a fighter who was able to escape the trap of "noble anger" and hatred of opponents in order to become a peacemaker, a unifier of the nation and a recognized world leader.
