The Prison Letters Of Nelson Mandela

"The Prison Letters of Nelson Mandela is a compelling, large volume. Dip in and out at your leisure and learn much from it. This often poignant collection of Mandela’s missives gives us a deeper insight into how he struggled with being an absent and incarcerated father and husband. Edited by Sahm Venter, the book – featuring previously mainly unpublished prison letters from 1962-1990 to his family, friends and associates – sheds light on a Mandela determined to parent from behind bars. Prison Letters paints an intimate portrait of the anti-apartheid stalwart lovingly writing long, detailed letters in his distinctive, easily readable script, as well complaints to the authorities demanding rights for political prisoners under harsh apartheid rule in South Africa."
