Nelson Mandela is well-known throughout the world as a heroic leader who symbolizes freedom and moral authority. He is fixed in the public mind as the world's elder statesman—the gray-haired man with a kindly smile who spent 27 years in prison before becoming the first black president in South Africa.
But Nelson Mandela was not always elderly or benign. And, in YOUNG MANDELA, award-winning journalist and author David James Smith takes us deep into the heart of racist South Africa to paint a portrait of the Mandela that many have forgotten: the committed revolutionary who left his family behind to live on the run, adopting false names and disguises and organizing the first strikes to overthrow the apartheid state. YOUNG MANDELA lifts the curtain on an icon's first steps to greatness.

reviewed Young Mandela: The Revolutionary Years on September 04, 2011 Young Mandela: The Revolutionary Years
The details were amazing and to have the book laid out in such a way as to have all the days leading up to his fateful arrest. When I concluded this book I thought my opening remark for this review would be "Every saint has a past and every sinner a future", well I've saved it for this moment. I first became aware of the name Mandela and only a fraction of the man in 1994, I was very young when the elections happened. As I grew older he already became a living legend. Feelings of the man for everyone is mixed. How to separate man from legend, legend from myth, man from hero even. It's not an easy task, fought with peril, to be concise, unbiased, aloof from your subject almost. With a man like Mandela is that possible? Even now there are people who will not say the full details of events and happenings of what occurred in the past no matter how many ghosts, there is always someone left that needs to be spared. However tricky the subject I think David James Smith did as fair and best job as he could with this book.
