Nelson Mandela

I have just started reading the book "A Prisoner In The Garden: Opening Nelson Mandela's Prison Archive", which tells the personal story of his time in prison. Some of the photographs were taken during a 1977 press visit to Robben Island, where Mandela was incarcerated.

The book authors state 'The images from the 1977 visit reveal that, on the eve of his 60th birthday and in the middle of his jail term, the prison experience was shaping Mandela into a man with a manifestly strong spirit who embodied authority'.

I will post a more detailed review when I am finished what promises to be a good read.
