Critic Reviews

“At it's heart there is a book that should be in every home.”

Are there any more words of praise that can be offered to a man descrived as the world's greatest living statesman? This would be incredibly difficult, but by having Mandela's own words tell the story there is little need for much else... Magnificent. - PRIDE

- SUNDAY HERALD

A testament to a man who uniquely combines sweetness with steel. - INDEPENDENT

A major achievement - OBSERVER
