| Abstract

:
|
"Set within a biographical frame, this book not only explores the great anti-apartheid leader's long and multi-faceted life, but also examines the way in which many different interconnected stories, histories, values, and symbols have combined to create the internationally recognized icon of freedom that we know today."--BOOK JACKET
