This book review is about Long Walk to Freedom, an autobiography by Nelson Mandela. It chronicles his journey from prison to President of South Africa, his contribution against the regressive system of apartheid and its abolishment. The book describes the political and social conditions of South Africa and the embittered feelings of racism in the country. It also highlights the strength of politically aroused masses and the indomitable spirit of Nelson Mandela. The book is a great learning lesson for building opinions to persist and preserve despite all odds.
