Knowing Mandela

โ€After serving twenty-seven years of a lifetime sentence for conspiring to overthrow South Africa`s apartheid government, Nelson Mandela emerged to become both the catalyst and the symbol of post-apartheid South Africa. He served as the country`s first black president and has since been internationally acclaimed as a powerful and vigilant humanitarian. John Carlin began covering South African politics while serving as the London Independent`s Bureau Chief in South Africa in 1989, and formed a relationship with Nelson Mandela in the decades since. Mandela has called Carlin`s journalism `courageous` and `absolutely inspiring`. Now, Carlin reflects back on the man he has studied and admired for much of his career. The book will begin with Mandela`s release from prison in 1990, and will end with the last time Carlin saw Mandela face-to-face in December 2009. Spanning decades, and chronicling both personal and national memories, Carlin`s tribute to Mandela is a fitting retrospective on a life well lived and its enduring legacy.โ€
