Signed limited first edition in full morocco, one of only 250 numbered copies, this number 25, signed by Nelson Mandela on the limitation page. There was also a signed edition, issued simultaneously in an edition of 1000 copies, which was bound in quarter leather and without a slipcase. This, the full leather deluxe edition, is now scarce. 8vo., original full green morocco, with gilt ruling and titling and all edges gilt, in original slipcase. A fine copy. "The Nelson Mandela who emerges from his memoir is considerably more human than the icon of legend Mandela is, on the evidence of his amazing life, neither a messiah nor a moralist nor really a revolutionary but a pragmatist to the core, a shrewd balancer of honor and interests. He is, to use a word unhappily fallen into disrepute, a politician, though one distinguished from lesser practitioners of his calling mainly by his unwavering faith in his ultimate objective, ending white minority rule" (New York Times).

Long Walk to Freedom is an autobiographical work written by Nelson Mandela, detailing his early life, education, and 27 years in prison. The book is a moving and inspiring story of one man's struggles and triumphs.
