Mandela: The Hero Who Led His Nation to Freedom (National Geographic World History Biographies)

Mandela: The Hero Who Led His Nation to Freedom (National Geographic World History Biographies)

Nelson Mandela comes to life in this portrait of a diplomatic man whose commitment to freedom gained him both the Nobel Peace Prize and Timeâ€™s Man of the Year honor. The son of a Thembu chief in South Africa, Mandela began his life-long campaign against white colonial rule while a college student. Kramerâ€™s eloquent, yet approachable text describes the leaderâ€™s dedication to nonviolence, his role in the African National Congress and his arrest in 1962 for sabotage and conspiracy. During his 27 years in prison, Mandela continued his fight for a democratic and free society, and ultimately was released and elected president of South Africa.
