Summary:

In the twilight of his life, Nelson Mandela is a national hero, a world leader, and a household name. While many people know the story of Mandela's imprisonment, release, and role in reuniting South Africa, few have studied his childhood and upbringing. Here, journalist David James Smith chronicles the childhood that shaped Nelson (born Rolihlahla) into a man and reveals several little-known facts about the great leader.
