About the Author
Christina Scott was an award-winning journalist for radio, television, print, and the Internet. She first went to South Africa at a time when it seemed that Nelson Mandela was never going to get out of jail. Just after she arrived, martial law was imposed. While covering the mayhem in the townships, the police tried to kick Scott out, calling her a security risk, but she stayed, enduring death threats, arrests, and assaults. Scott covered the day that Mandela was released from jail and his first visit to some of the most war-torn parts of the country. She also produced Mandela's first-ever radio talk show.
