In the fight against racial segregation in Africa, Nelson Mandela sacrificed everything, including 27 years in prison. During his imprisonment, he could only maintain contact with the outside world through letters. These letters, now published for the first time, reveal Mandela in a way that is more intimate and human than ever before. They express a man who tenderly loves his wife and children, who deeply longs for life in freedom, and who cannot be bent by any power in the world. In a time when the world seems to have lost its moral compass, Nelson Mandela's breathtaking letters remind us that freedom and justice are non-negotiable. Nelson Mandela's imprisonment began on August 5, 1962, and ended on February 11, 1990. After his release and the end of apartheid, he was elected as the first black president of his country and played a crucial role through his policies.
