About this Item

"The Historic Speech of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela at the Rivonia Trial: As Delivered from the Dock on April 20, 1964" delivered by Nelson Mandela. Johannesburg: Learn and Teach Publications, [1998]. 8vo. Original publisher's wrappers. Second edition, twice signed by Mandela on title-page: once in his hand, and with one autopen signature. Originally printed in 1987 but "was seized under the emergency media regulations" and no copies are known to still exist. This reprint was published to mark Mandela's 70th birthday, which he celebrated while still imprisoned. Despite the title page disclaimer, the publication was likely suppressed quickly leading to its scarcity. Rare: According to online records, only one copies has ever sold at auction and OCLC locates only 12 copies. A true collector's item for Mandela related books.
