Mandela, The Authorized Biography by Anthony Sampson, Random House, 2000, PB

Description: For Sale: Mandela, The Authorized Biography by Anthony Sampson, First Vintage Books Edition, a division of Random House, September 2000. This is a previously owned paperback book in like new condition, with cover, pages and binding all clean, tight and intact. See photos. Back of book: Nelson Mandela, who emerged from twenty-six years of political imprisonment to lead South Africa out of apartheid and into democracy, is perhaps the most admired and beloved man on earth-a leader whose life has been led with exemplary courage and inspired conviction. Now Anthony Sampson, who has known Mandela since 1951 and has been a close observer of South Africa's political life for the last fifty years, has produced the first authorized biography, the most informed and comprehensive portrait to date of a man whose dazzling image has been difficult to penetrate. With unprecedented access to Mandela's private papers (including his prison memoir, long thought to have been lost), meticulous research, and hundreds of interviews-from Mandela himself to prison warders on Robben Island, from Walter Sisulu and Oliver Tambo to Winnie Mandela and F W. de Klerk-Sampson has created an authoritative, objective, and, above all, wonderfully readable biography. I have hundreds of books that have been handed down through generations, plus more recent books. Some are in great condition, some showing much use and some damage. A lot of the books came from homes, bay houses, or beach houses along the Gulf Coast, back before air conditioning, where there is high humidity and severe weather at times. Especially some of the older books from the early 1900's. We were taught that books are very valuable and should never be destroyed as long as they are still readable.
