I know quite a bit about the South African legend -- Nelson Mandela. However, I was more curious to know why people admire him, and as a person, what I should know about him. This book is the perfect choice for answering my questions. While I was reading this biography just after a month of his passing away, I felt how amazingly the author captures Nelson Mandela's spirit and voice in his book. The writing style is smooth, and very easy to read. Author gets started with the early days of this African iconic leader, and end with an extraordinary exploration of Nelson Mandela’s courage and patriotism. I feel myself inspirational to observe this legendary activist, who was abused by an evil system, too closely throughout this biography. Also, I become surprised to see that how he was rising above a normal human instinct of revenge, and brought a country together. In a word, this book is a great summary of Nelson Mandela's life. From the first chapter, I just have been drawn in to Mandela’s life; not only that at the end, it pushed me to think more about this man.  Each page captures exactly this historic figure's charisma and contradictions.  I never thought that in such a cheap price I would get a chance to read such an excellent biography. I really like to recommend this short biography to anyone who is  really a biography reader.
