Mandela traces the growth of his understanding of the oppression of the blacks of South Africa; his conviction that there was no alternative to armed struggle; his developing belief that all people, black and white, must be free for true freedom; and the effect that his commitment to overthrowing apartheid had on his family, who "paid a terrible price." Over a third of Mandela's memoir tells of his 27 years in prison, an account that could stand alone as a prison narrative. He ends his book with the conclusion that his "long walk" for freedom has just begun: "For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others."                                                                                                                                Easton Press books are bound in genuine premium leather and come with moire fabric endsheets and a permanent satin ribbon page marker.  The spines of these luxurious books are accented in 22-karat gold and are hubbed with traditional raised rings.  Each unique binding is decorated with a deeply inlaid design of 22-karat gold.  The page ends are gilded in 22-karat gold for beauty and protection against dust and humidity.  Easton Press Books are also printed on archival-quality acid-neutral paper that is Smyth-sewn for strength and durability.
