In the foreword, President Barack Obama notes that it provides an extraordinary picture of Mandela the man.

It features photos from his life, journals from his time on the run during the anti-apartheid struggles, and nearly 70 hours of recorded conversations with friends. This intimate journey traces the evolution of his political conscience and his pivotal role on the world stage. Critics have noted its emotional depth, with one calling it more revealing than his autobiography, while another describes it as a work that breaks the heart and then makes it sing.

The second volume of Nelson Mandela’s memoirs, left unfinished at his death, is now completed and expanded with notes and speeches from his presidency, serving as a poignant sequel to his acclaimed first volume. Mandela reflects on his journey, stating, “I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.” In 1994, he became South Africa's first democratic president, and by 1999, he had stepped down, having led an extraordinary transformation from a nation divided by colonialism and apartheid to one where all citizens, regardless of race, were equal under the law. This narrative draws from Mandela’s unfinished draft and detailed notes taken during his presidency, as well as previously unseen archival material. The acclaimed South African author Mandla Langa has meticulously completed this work, providing a vivid and inspirational account of Mandela’s leadership during a pivotal time in history. The memoir captures the challenges he faced and the realization of his vision for a liberated South Africa, emphasizing the responsibilities that come with freedom and the ongoing journey toward equality and justice.

How should an emerging democracy cope with the legacy of an ousted repressive regime? How can a new society redress past abuses without creating new injustices, while peacefully integrating the victims and the perpetrators?By bringing together the collective experience of numerous countries and cultures over the past fifty years, this three-volume compilation of readings provides an invaluable resource for government officials, private organizations, scholars, and others involved in the transitions of today and tomorrow.

Tuto strhující autobiografii prvního černošského prezidenta Jihoafrické republiky, bojovníka proti rasové segregaci a držitele Nobelovy ceny míru Nelsona Mandely, zachycující období od jeho narození v roce 1918 až po první všerasové volby roku 1994, lze současně číst jako poutavé dějiny jihoafrického osvobozeneckého hnutí i celé moderní Jižní Afriky. Přestože kvůli svým názorům strávil celkem dvacet sedm let ve vězení a boji za svobodu byl nucen obětovat veškerý osobní život, Mandela vůči svým bílým utiskovatelům nezahořkl, nikdy neopustil myšlenku mezirasového smíru a zasadil se o pokojný přechod k vládě černošské většiny. Jeho vyprávění se čte jako detektivní román, vyznačuje se velkou otevřeností, nepostrádá smysl pro humor, paradox a ironii.
