Nelson Mandela--is it possible to say who or what he is? Yes, he was one of the world's longest-detained political prisoners. He is a universal symbol of social justice certainly; an exemplary figure connoting non-racialism and democracy; a moral giant.

This book is about the different, interconnected stories, histories, values and symbols that Nelson Mandela embodies.
