Reviews

At it's heart there is a book that should be in every home.
SUNDAY HERALD
Are there any more words of praise that can be offered to a man descrived as the world's greatest living statesman? This would be incredibly difficult, but by having Mandela's own words tell the story there is little need for much else... Magnificent.
PRIDE
A major achievement
OBSERVER
A testament to a man who uniquely combines sweetness with steel.
