Preface

Arrested in 1962 activist Nelson Mandela had no idea that he would spend the next twenty-seven years in jail.

During his incarceration, Mandela wrote hundreds of letters to prison authorities, activists, government officials, to his wife and his five children.

Now, 255 of these letters, most of which were previously unseen, provide an intimate portrait of Mandela.
