<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"First published in 1997 in Great Britain by the Penguin Group"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Nelson Mandela stands out as one of the most admired political figures of the twentieth century. It was his leadership and moral courage above all that helped to deliver a peaceful end to apartheid in South Africa after years of racial division and violence and to establish a fledgling democracy there. <p/> Martin Meredith's vivid portrayal of this towering leader was originally acclaimed as an exemplary work of biography: instructive, illuminating, as well as felicitously written (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>), providing new insights on the man and his time (<i>Washington Post</i>). Now Meredith has revisited and significantly updated his biography to incorporate a decade of additional perspective and hindsight on the man and his legacy and to examine how far his hopes for the new South Africa have been realized. <p/> Published as South Africa celebrates 100 years since its founding and hosts the 2010 World Cup, <i>Nelson Mandela</i> is the most thorough and up-to-date account available of the life of its most revered hero.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Martin Meredith</b> is a journalist, biographer, and historian who has written extensively on Africa and its recent history. His previous books include <i>Mandela</i>; <i>Mugabe</i>; <i>Diamonds, Gold, and War</i>; <i>Born in Africa</i>; and <i>The Fate of Africa</i>. He lives near Oxford, England.
