'A magisterial, detailed and invaluable account of one of this century's greatest figures ! it is hard to believe that a better biography will ever be written.' Justin Cartwright, Sunday Telegraph The life of Nelson Mandela, from the personal and the global perspective, is one of the epic stories of the twentieth century. It is also one of the most inspiring. Twenty years ago, Mandela was an almost forgotten figure languishing in jail on Robben Island; today, as he leaves office as President of South Africa, he is one of the most widely admired leaders on earth. The book provides many new insights into Mandela's story and sheds new light at every turn on the moral dilemmas and personal choices of both Mandela's private and public life. Anthony Sampson has known Mandela from the early 1950s, and conducted hundreds of interviews with colleagues, family and friends as well as prison warders and Afrikaner ex-cabinet ministers, and he is the first person to have examined prison archives in South Africa and diplomatic papers in Great Britain, the United States and South Africa. He was given unprecedented access to 27 years' worth of unpublished correspondence from prison, as well as to other unpublished writings including Mandela's original, suppressed, autobiography.

This book concentrates on changes during the 1980s, the decade of unprecedented money-making; but it has a strong historical perspective, including many comparisons to the late 19th century. The book focuses on particular countries - the US, Japan, Britain, China, Latin America and Africa, and makes use of revealing interviews-in-depth with leading participants in the politics of money during the eighties, including Paul Voicker, Sir James Goldsmith and Akio Morita, which give the authentic inside view of the contemporary history of money. Anthony Sampson is the author of "The Anatomy of Britain", "The New Europeans", "The Sovereign State", "The Seven Sisters", "The Arms Bazaar", "The Money Lenders", "Empires of the Sky" and "Black and Gold".
