W. de Klerk. Covers the prison period and Mandela's transformation from headstrong activist to skilled statesman, and discusses troubled relations with British and American diplomats and political infighting between anti-apartheid factions. The author is a distinguished British journalist. His connection with South Africa dates back to the 1950s, when he was editor of the black magazine Drum in Johannesburg. Annotation c.
