Nelson Mandela : Inside the mind of one of the most inspiring men in history

For those of you who are still in college like me, I’m sure you feel like you don’t have time for any extra reading outside class sometimes. Despite this, I am going to try to squeeze in Nelson Mandela’s new autobiography, “Conversations with Myself.”
Unlike other autobiographies, “Conversations with Myself” highlights not only the political conscious of a revolutionary, but the emotional realities a revolutionary faces during their struggle to advocate for the world’s poorest people.
Nelson Mandela served as president of South Africa from 1994 to1999 and is internationally acclaimed as the leader of the anti-apartheid movement. From personal doodles during meetings with foreign dignitaries, to letters written from his oppressive cell during his 27-year jail sentence, “Conversations with Myself” is an attempt to give access to the man behind the human rights figure.
“Conversations with Myself” was released today, in 22 editions and 20 languages. Pick up your copy and be sure to let us know what you think!
