I am fascinated by history and especially about icons that I have grown up with on the news.
It is approximately an hour read depending on how fast you can read. For a person who as learning needs or as a second language then this may take a little longer.
For a brief insight into what Mandela has achieved then this book is for you. With only 23 pages and a few questions at the end on the book, it is an introductory series for comprehension exercise.
I would have like a little more information on what Mandela has been achieving but as other reviews have stated, I may need to read the autobiography for this.
Now, would I recommend this book – yes, for learners that need extra work on their comprehension skills and possibly for a quick read on a train or bus.

I first thought him as Gandhi, who never used violence. But Mandela used it at some point.
