Revolutionary anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela devoted his life to ensuring liberation, equality, and justice for the people of South Africa. Incarcerated for 27 years, his enduring faith and rise to leadership remains an inspiration to all. Here, two of his colleagues, Sello Hatang and Verne Harris, share stories from his life as they explore the challenges he faced, and the qualities, routines, and disciplines that enabled him to help lead a country away from violence to peace and democracy. With excerpts from Mandela's own speeches and writing, this book is a moving reminder of Mandela's legacy and encourages every reader to find and nurture the leader within.
