Mandela - End of an Era (Hardcover, Re-issue)

As South Africa prepares to move into the next century, and Nelson Mandela has handed over the reins of government to Thabo Mbeki, the democratic transition looks increasingly stable. The time has come to look at the career of the man who made this possible. In Mandela, respected journalist Charlene Smith traces the life and work of South Africa's first democratically elected president, covering his many achievements as president and respected international statesman. His inimitable Madiba magic has certainly woven its spell, and this handsomely illustrated tribute captures the spirit of the man whose devotion to freedom and justice has made him truly one of our century's towering figures.
