You simple can't ignore it.

Already much has been said, so don't have much to write. This autobiography is something which I could feel happening right in front of my eyes. I could see the struggle, the movement, the ups and downs. I could feel the oppression, I could sense a strong will as well. This book is absolute charm.
I am a slow reader and added to it was the bulkiness of the book, but I could easily sail through with this master piece. The author has even managed to bring out humor every now and then even in such dark years of South African struggle.
At last, I can only raise my fist and say ANC salute to this magnificent book

This book is the story of a freedom fighter, from his childhood till his mid forties. It shows that the person is not born as a freedom fighter, it is his life, the environment he lives in, and the oppression he goes through which contribute to shape his life as a fighter. This book also shows that freedom may require the use of many tactics to be gained. Sometimes, non violence by itself does not work others it is the only way to freedom. The experience of Mandella can be applied in similar contexts today. For sure, it needs customization to the situation and the enemy, it needs further study, but in general many lessons learnt and success tactics can be applied to countries where oppression is widespread.

I really enjoyed this book and found it informative and non-judgemental.
Very interesting

Fascinating, inspirational and emotional. #madiba

A story of growth, patience, struggle, hope, humanity, humbleness, courage, suffering, losing and eventually, gaining in life.

I have always admired Madiba. He was jailed for 27 years and still have nothing against his oppressors. He never allowed himself to be broken down by the system. Not a single word of bitterness in this beautifully written book.

This is one of the autobiographies that everyone must read.

WOW!!!

A superbly written book which evokes many emotions throughout. Nelson Mandela and all of the others who supported the ANC deserve their rightful place in history. Together they changed the lives of millions of South Africans and left the world in a better place.

This is a lengthy write by Nelson which talks about the story/life which resulted in becoming a president of South Africa.

Long Walk to Freedom starts from the childhood of Nelson,his teenage,hostel days and ends up with his late adult stage,where as he is pictured as a crucial member of ANC Party and a Candidate for President Elections in Africa.

The Best Touching Portions of this book are:
-His Teenage hostel days where he faced discrimination
-ANC Party life in his youth which ended up in imprisonment of 27 Damn years!
-Jail Life which consists of extreme discrimination about black and whites even in serving food,clothing,communicating as well.
-Sacrificing his family life(finally getting separated)
-Becoming a star among world leaders after getting released from Prison

Its a wonderful read,even though it took me 2 months to accomplish this!

An engaging book that is hard to put down. As a South African I believe it is CRUCIAL and NECESSARY to read this book and gain the understanding of our history through the greatest man himself’s personal journey of the injustices he experienced from the Apartheid regime. An empowering, humble, captivating and truly extraordinary man and the story of his life.

Brilliant. Absolutely bloody brilliant.
I don't want to be that person; but I don't think my description of this book would do it justice.
I don't read many auto/biographies, but when I do, it's usually worth while. This just proved my point.

Extremely dedicated man fighting for better human rights for his and all people of South Africa who put the rights of others before his and even his own family to create a better country and world for all of us. He was one of the most influential freedom fighters of all time.

The long walk to freedom
Nelson Mandela
Autobiography
Nov 2, 2022

After reading this book, I learnt that to be a leader and not a follower. Nelson Mandela stood up for what he believed in. He never gave up, even when he got sent to prison. “To be a great leader, one must never give up, try to bring people together and be selfless.” This quote made me realize how there are many people who do nothing when they see something wrong with the world we live in. Society is shaped so that people wait for someone else to do the right thing, but if we all have that mindset, no one is going to do anything about it. “A leader is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.”A chain effect was created when he made a difference. This gave people hope and people like Rosa Parks started to notice how messed up society used tobe, and tried to make a difference. He stood up to the racial inequality and the division between two different races, and he brought them together, so that people now-a-days have equal opportunities.
