'A magisterial, detailed and invaluable account of one of this century's greatest figures ! it is hard to believe that a better biography will ever be written.' Justin Cartwright, Sunday Telegraph The life of Nelson Mandela, from the personal and the global perspective, is one of the epic stories of the twentieth century. It is also one of the most inspiring. Twenty years ago, Mandela was an almost forgotten figure languishing in jail on Robben Island; today, as he leaves office as President of South Africa, he is one of the most widely admired leaders on earth. The book provides many new insights into Mandela's story and sheds new light at every turn on the moral dilemmas and personal choices of both Mandela's private and public life. Anthony Sampson has known Mandela from the early 1950s, and conducted hundreds of interviews with colleagues, family and friends as well as prison warders and Afrikaner ex-cabinet ministers, and he is the first person to have examined prison archives in South Africa and diplomatic papers in Great Britain, the United States and South Africa. He was given unprecedented access to 27 years' worth of unpublished correspondence from prison, as well as to other unpublished writings including Mandela's original, suppressed, autobiography.

安东尼•桑普森,(1926年8月3日-2004年12月18日),南非记者、作家、学者,一直致力于南非问题研究。1951年从牛津大学毕业后,担任南非黑人杂志《鼓》、英国《观察家报》等杂志主编。正是在担任《鼓》杂志主编期间,在索韦托结识了正在筹备抵制种族隔离的“藐视运动”的纳尔逊•曼德拉。
1995年,安东尼•桑普森得到曼德拉授权,写一本关于他的官方传记,曼德拉还邀请作者去他位于约翰内斯堡的住所共进早餐。曼德拉对他说;“我们是多年的朋友,我信任你。”并就关键问题与作者进行讨论,并授予作者特权查看相关信件和文件,尽量保证史实的准确性。使得本书成为曼德拉唯一授权的官方传记。
