Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela

This book was Nelson Mandela's autobiography. I really enjoyed it, although at times the 600+ pages was a bit daunting. His book does a great job of describing his personal development as an activist, while secondarily charting the politics going on around him. A child of the late 1970's, I was completely unfamiliar with his entire story and found it inspiring and him strangely humble. Recommended.
