This book is the result of many conversations between the author and Mandella. It is essentially a serious of observations about Mandella's principals and how he expresses them in his decisions and actions. There are many important lessons for all of us in the messages contained in the decisions Mandella made in the face of his many challenges throughout his life. The insights offered here show clearly why he is considered by many to be a hero. If you prefer a complete and chronological biography of Nelson Mandela, this is not the book for you. What this book offers the reader is a glimpse into specific occasions in the life of Mandela that shaped his actions and principles. You will read of the failings and contradictions that made Mandela, but his legacy remains that of a statesman who believed in equality for all, and united a country where the races were distrustful of one another.
