Nelson Mandela "No Easy Walk to Freedom" Biography by Barry Denenberg 1991

His name was Rolihlahla, "one who brings trouble on himself". Son of a tribal chief, he was groomed to take over this role himself one day. Instead, he became a lawyer and worked to free his people, taking the name by which he would become known throughout the world: Nelson Mandela.

A powerful member of the African National Congress, Mandela led the fight for black rights, until 1964, when he was convicted of try to overthrow the government and sentenced to life imprisonment. He was to spend the next twenty-six years in jail. During this time, violence spread throughout South Africa as blacks resisted apartheid and the government clamped down even harder. At last, in 1990, President F.W. de Klerk released Mandela from prison.

In an era in which few are revered as heroes, Nelson Mandela has gained the admiration of the world, a powerful symbol of hope not only for South Africans, but for oppressed people everywhere.
