The Story of Nelson Mandela - The Prisoner Who Became a President (Hardcover)

Nelson was a young South African with a reputation for trouble-making. Who would have thought he would one day lead his people to freedom?

Nelson grew up at a time when black South Africans suffered terrible injustice. He was determined to change this even if it meant grave personal danger.

Twenty seven years of his life were spent in prison, and everyone seemed to be against him even his own family but Nelson never stopped fighting for what he believed in: true equality for all, no matter what the colour of their skin.
