Un libro fácil de leer que se disfruta. Trae varios datos biográficos que desconocía y es muy interesante como de la historia de su vida es posible conocer las máximas que rigen la misma. El padre de una nación pero sus hijos argumentan que no fue un padre para ellos, un gran hombre en la vida política pero con denuncias de abuso doméstico, un defensor de los DDHH pero mantenía relaciones amigables con Gadafi.
Un ser humano, no un santo. Cometió errores como todos pero también le puso fin a un sistema creado para dividir y humillar.
Si les interesa el tema, definitivamente hay que leerlo.
"A coward will die many times before his real death." Quoted Mandela. Done with reading with this precious piece, How to Think Like Mandela by Daniel Smith published in May 2014. The book will introduce you with Madiba's thoughts, his ambitious vision and inspiring character. The book is highly recommended to young leaders and to ones who are interested in leadership and statesmanship.
Sin duda, Mandela se ha convertido en uno de mis personajes de la historia favoritos. Al día siguiente de haber terminado el libro, leí una nota que se publicará un libro póstumo de sus memorias. ¡Eso fue como una señal! Es un libro ameno, que sin duda muestra las convicciones de un líder, cuya vida no es perfecta, que tuvo que tomar decisiones difíciles y realizar sacrificios para lograr su objetivo, pero también saber cuándo retirarse.
In order to fully grasp the ideas presented in the book, you have to read the magnificent "Long Walk to Freedom" first. Otherwise, it may feel superficial. Still a good effort and an easy read.
