About this title

Synopsis

Looking at Nelson Mandela's presidency from the point of view of his chief bodyguard, Rory Steyn, this hugely entertaining tribute to Mandela contains behind-the-scenes information and wonderful anecdotes about Mandela, his family, colleagues, VIPs, and others. This book is also the story of how a traditional white South African was converted by Mandela's personal charm and dignity to the point where he realized that he would lay down his life for Mandela. This book contains many never-before-seen photographs and is co-authored with Debora Parta, probably Nelson Mandela's favorite journalist. Includes a foreword by Nelson Mandela.
