Nelson Mandela: A Life in Photographs

By David Elliot Cohen and John D. Battersby

A celebration of freedom and the man who fought so valiantly for it: NELSON MANDELA ? Almost 20 years ago, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela--brutally imprisoned in South Africa for his struggle against apartheid--was finally released. This beautiful illustrated volume commemorates that event and Mandela's inspiring life and work. Created by renowned author David Elliot Cohen--who has worked with many of the top photojournalists who chronicled the "apartheid battles"-- Nelson Mandela contains many images that have rarely, if ever, been seen, as well as the more iconic photos that have lingered in people's minds. Like Obama: The Historic Front Pages , this will be rich in illustrations and elegantly designed, and will contain brief essays and key Mandela speeches rather than a running text.
