Carlin witnessed history as Mandela was released from prison after twenty-seven years and ultimately ascended to the presidency of his strife-torn country.</p><p>Drawing on exclusive conversations with Mandela and countless interviews with people who were close to him, Carlin has crafted an account of a man who was neither saint nor superman. Mandela's seismic political victories were won at the cost of much personal unhappiness and disappointment.</p><p><em>Knowing Mandela</em> offers an intimate understanding of one of the most towering and remarkable figures of our age.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"...an intimate remembrance by a journalist who grew to love him...Carlin offers a thoughtful tribute to this unparalleled leader."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br><br>"...thoughtful blend of biography and personal encounters...Carlin's journalistic skills and his effort to be objective present a lively picture of a personally disciplined man of great kindness as well as a clear view of the vast challenges facing South Africa."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"...wonderful new memoir..."--Huffington Post<br><br>"[A] short, eloquent portrait...Carlin's skill as a journalist is expertly applied and the result is a concise but thorough look at both the flaws and triumphs of one of the world's most renowned leaders."--Examiner.com<br>
