It was his leadership and moral courage above all that helped to deliver a peaceful end to apartheid in South Africa after years of racial division and violence and to establish a fledgling democracy there. Martin Meredith's vivid portrayal of this towering leader was originally acclaimed by the Sunday Timesas 'a fitting epitaph to an extraordinary career' and by the Daily Telegraphas 'a compelling account of the whole of Mandela's life'. Meredith's acclaimed biography incorporates a decade of additional perspective and hindsight on the man and his legacy and examines how far his hopes for the new South Africa were realised. Mandelais the most thorough and up-to-date account available of the life of its most revered hero.  a Mandela, Nelson, 1918-2013929436  aPresidents -- South Africa -- Biography929437  aMEREDITH (Martin)929438  2ddccGF  c222378d222378  00102ddc40708PSaALbALd2013-03-24l0o324.268 MERNpGF02108r2022-04-12 00:00:00w2022-04-12yGF
