Conversations With Myself
by Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela is widely considered to be one of the most inspiring and iconic figures of our age. Now, after a lifetime of taking pen to paper to record thoughts and events, hardships and victories, he has bestowed his entire extant personal papers, which offer an unprecedented insight into his remarkable life.

At first I had anticipated Mr. Mandela to talk about his life as he saw it throughout his political career, and the life leading up to it. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was a collection of conversations Mr. Mandela had with others over the years.

What I liked most was that you can hear the humbleness in his words, and see that such an extraordinary man is just a man with a heart-felt mission to do what he felt was the right thing to do.

An interesting read, even inspirational in many aspects. I would be interested to read further from the perspective of others involved through those years.
