5.0 out of 5 stars A man who led a great revolution, June 27, 2006

By	Tony Thomas (SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

To many the apartheid regime equiped with nuclear weapons, a fierce police force, and all the financial and political suppoort Washington, London, Israel, and the other imperial powers could provide seemed invincible in its war against the peoples of Southern AFrica and its own Black majority. Nelson Mandela, in prison for decades, led the revolution that under the blows of independence struggles throughout southern Africa spurred by the Cuban and Angolan armies' routing of the South Africans, freed South Africa.

These are not just speeches about injustice or racism. These are speeches about mobilizing for the struggle, drawing the masses into that struggle, and delinating the program of a unified non-racial South Africa that made this revolution. Read them.
