Description
On February 11, 1990, a dignified elderly man walked out of prison, hand-in-hand with the wife from whom he had been forced to live apart for nearly three decades, and into history. It is a date and an image the world will never forget: The day Nelson Mandela was freed.“Mandela: The Authorized Portrait” features artifacts and facsimiles of Mandela’s voluminous writings and correspondence—written records of his negotiations with prison authorities, intimate letters to his family and friends during his imprisonment and material from Mandela’s personal diaries and calendars.Created by a team of award-winning writers, photographers and researchers in collaboration with Mandela’s closest living comrades from Robben Island, Mac Maharaj and Ahmed Kathrada, this comprehensive volume provides a vivid, inspirational and moving tribute to one of the most significant leaders of our time.
