Ruthless revolutionary; passionate womaniser; activist; hothead.

Meet the young Mandela.

Nelson Mandela is the greatest political figure of our age and

is universally known as a heroic leader who symbolises freedom and

moral authority. He will soon be 90 years old and is fixed in the

public mind as the world's elder statesman - the dignified,

grey-haired man with a kindly smile who spent 27 years in prison

from 1962 and somehow emerged intact to become the first black

President of a newly liberated South Africa.

But Nelson Mandela was not always elderly or benign. This book

is about the man that people have forgotten - Young Mandela, the

committed terrorist who left his wife and children behind to spend

a year living on the run in the racist South Africa of the early

1960s, adopting false names and disguises and sleeping in safe

houses as he organised and prepared the first strikes in a campaign

of violence to overthrow the apartheid state.

书籍介绍

Nelson Mandela has been mythologised as a flawless hero of the liberation struggle. But how exactly did his early life shape the triumphs to come? This book goes behind the myth to find the man who people have forgotten or never knew - Young Mandela, the committed freedom fighter, who left his wife and children behind to go on the run from the police in the early 1960s. But his historic achievements came at a heavy price and David James Smith graphically describes the emotional turmoil Mandela left in his wake. After meticulous research, and taking a lead from Mandela's trusted circle, the author discovers much that is new, surprising, and sometimes shocking that will enhance our understanding of the world's elder statesman. For the first time, we have evidence of a specific personal motivation for Mandela's fight against apartheid, and this book sheds light on the significant extent to which Mandela relied on white activists - a part of South African history the ANC has ignored or tried to bury. Sanctified, lionised, it turns out that Mandela is a human being after all, only too aware of his flaws and shortcomings. With unique access to people and papers, culminating in a meeting with Mandela himself, Smith has written the single most important contribution to our knowledge of this global icon.
