Long Walk to Freedom

Mandela, Nelson. Long Walk to Freedom. Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1994.

Mandela's autobiography is a first-person account of his political commitments and understanding of leadership as South Africa entered democratic rule. The chapter cites that personal account for his approach to authority, separating his perspective from later government records confirming the transfer of office.
