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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Sampson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.27w x 1.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679781783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e43141 \/ Mandela: The Authorized Biography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooks \u0026amp; Culture\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2000 pg. 27\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2000 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/03\/2000 pg. 109\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2002 pg. 1299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnthony Sampson is a British journalist and author of nearly twenty books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125862396019,"sku":"9.78068E+12","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_08e21edc-9b0e-43e4-992f-1dbda959a2ef.jpg?v=1764767151","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/mandela-the-authorized-biography-9780679781783","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
