Critic reviews

"Burns with the luminosity of faith in the invincible nature of human hope and dignity....Unforgettable" (Andre Brink)

"Enthralling.... Mandela emulates the few great political leaders such as Lincoln and Gandhi, who go beyond mere consensus and move out ahead of their followers to break new ground." (Sunday Times)

... Make sure it's this one. Stunning narration by Danny glover.
Very emotive.
Loved the music and how it wasn't merely speaking as any other audio book is, it also employed Mandelas actual speech as well as traditional African music. This audio book was an experience educationally as well as spiritually.
