YOUNG MANDELA BY DAVID JAMES SMITH, WEIDENFELD & NICOLSON, $35.
Much has been written about Nelson Mandela, but for the first time, this biography offers a tangible perspective on the real man behind the political struggle.
More importantly, it focuses on the troubled lives of his families, especially with first wife Evelyn and second wife Winnie. The price paid for Mandela’s inspirational commitment to change the world was immense. With unique access to his relatives and colleagues, Smith throws a tantalising spotlight on the domestic side of Mandela’s life before his arrest and imprisonment, revealing a dapper dandy of a man with an eye for the ladies, who then put the fight for political freedom above everything else in his life.
