Just read his book The Last Trek-A New Beginning: The Autobiography

Very interesting to say the least. I recommend it to anyone with interest in RSA. My first visit to RSA was when PW Botha was still Prime Minister, and just before De Klerk ascended.

Many of you may not remember the campaign of terror and civil unrest the ANC started in the '80's to make areas of RSA ungovernable. Classic communist strategy.

Mandela is portrayed just as he was, and not the diety he became. He could have been released from prison years before if he would have remounced violence and wouldn't.

It is not all encompassing, and it helps to know something about South Africa and its history to comprehend his story. It is an excellent read.
