Nelson Mandela

Stephan Bierling

Rebel, Prisoner, President

On July 18, 2018, the great Nelson Mandela would have been 100 years old. He remains an icon for our time and nobody else is so revered and admired worldwide. His name stands for freedom, peace and reconciliation, but also resistance to oppression, an end to racial discrimination and the strength of human dignity even under the most difficult circumstances.

Who was this man who began his career as a lawyer and political activist, became a voice of freedom in his country, spent 27 years in prison, negotiated the end of apartheid, and ultimately saved South Africa from a bloody civil war? Stephan Bierling’s extensively researched biography is based on previously inaccessible documents and conversations with fellow travelers. He draws an impressive portrait not only of the resistance fighter and politician, but also of the man called Nelson Mandela.
