The Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela is an eye opener for all nations of the world. I rarely know things that had happened or are happening in the world if I do not take literature seriously. It is amazing how different genres of writing can affect people that much, especially when it was written by great leaders like Nelson Mandela.


This autobiography is an authorized version and consented by Mandela so we can assume that it is reliable and the information is valid to be read for pleasure or for educational purposes. It is quite trustworthy judging that he is a politician who really fight for his people’s rights and already established a great credibility. It also covered his thoughts and experience living in the society that practiced apartheid. It revealed the dark truth of life then, and acted as a way for him to channel his emotions, share his beliefs and ideas with others.
