“An important reminder of the lessons Madiba taught us all.”—President Bill Clinton There are numerous books about Nelson Mandela, but Good Morning, Mr. Mandela is the first by a trusted member of his inner circle.

Inspiring and deeply felt, this book honors a great man’s lasting gift.

Together with her family, she escaped from Romania by way of Israel and Cuba to land in Canada. She studied at Cornell University where she met her future husband, a South African Fulbright scholar. He promised her that South Africa would change and in no small way, he contributed to that change. It is a story that is attached to the millennia-long story of the Jewish people. It is a story of resilience, of taking risks, and of courage to move to uncertain futures and strange lands.

Nelson Mandela, who emerged from twenty-six years of political imprisonment to lead South Africa out of apartheid and into democracy, is perhaps the world's most admired leader, a man whose life has been led with exemplary courage and inspired conviction. Now Anthony Sampson, who has known Mandela since 1951 and has been a close observer of South Africa's political life for the last fifty years, has produced the first authorized biography, the most informed and comprehensive portrait to date of a man whose dazzling image has been difficult to penetrate. With unprecedented access to Mandela's private papers (including his prison memoir, long thought to have been lost), meticulous research, and hundreds of interviews--from Mandela himself to prison warders on Robben Island, from Walter Sisulu and Oliver Tambo to Winnie Mandela and F. W. de Klerk, and many others intimately connected to Mandela's story--Sampson has composed an enlightening and necessary story of the man behind the myth.
