Delivered at promised

"Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela" by Nelson Mandela, arrived as advertised, very good condition packed safely in a bubble-pak. The book looks as if it was read only once by a person that respects books. I would recommend purchasing from the seller and would myself buy from them in the future.

every one should read this book

one of the 5 best books i've read. nelson mandela may be the most courageous leader of my lifetime. like MLK, he showed great courage and inspired millions. like ghandi, he changed his country and the course of history. i thought i knew the story of aparthied but i knew very little. pls read this book.

Long Walk, long remembered!!!!

Although, it has been some time that I read this inspirational book, it is forever singed into my mind as one of the best books written by a most noble, couragous and wise man. I have added Nelson Mandela to my very short "Hero" list. With the holidays approaching it would be a wonderful gift!!!!
