WHO WAS NELSON MANDELA?

As a child he dreamt of changing South Africa; as a man he changed the world.

Nelson Mandela spent his life battling apartheid and championing a peaceful revolution. He spent twenty-seven years in prison and emerged as the inspiring leader of the new South Africa. He became the country’s first black president and went on to live his dream of change.

The WHO WAS…? and WHAT WAS…? series have expanded rapidly and will have about 90 titles through Summer 2014. Each book is 112 pages and contains 80 black-and-white illustrations throughout.
