In the style of a fast-paced graphic novel, this book tells the story of Nelson Mandela's long incarceration for opposition to the South African regime, his release in 1990, and election as President in 1994. A preface and afterword explain the context of his achievements, but the story itself is told in a dramatic visual sequence with inserted speech bubbles and minimal background text in a format with particular appeal to reluctant readers. New in paperback.
