His one aim in life - equality for all, no matter what. This biography introduces readers not only to Mandela, but also to the political turmoil that affected South Africa for over a century. It begins with Mandela’s birth, and covers his school years, his political ventures, imprisonment, release, presidency, Nobel Peace Prize, and retirement.
