I've heard the name before, but I never really knew about Nelson Mandella, so I figured I should look into it. Since not everything online is accurate or truthful, I thought it would be best to buy a book about him and what he did in his life. The first thing that stands out to me about the book is the emphasis that he was born and grew up in South Africa. There are so many doubts about African people and their ability to change the world that it's truly inspiring to see how much a single person can do. He was also one of the few lucky ones of his family that could go to school and it's where he was given the name Nelson rather than keeping his birth name. This book is so short and easy to understand that it's really unlikely that you'd get bored while reading it. It's definitely a good "Beginners guide to Nelson Mandella".
