Conversations with Myself
Mandela unedited: the private letters, prison notebooks and taped talks behind the public statesman, in his own hand
Assembled from Mandela’s private archive, his letters, the notebooks he kept in prison, diary entries and taped conversations, this book shows the man behind the icon thinking in real time. The material is unpolished and often intimate, catching him uncertain, funny, angry and tender in ways the public statesman rarely allowed. It is closer to overhearing him than to reading about him.
