deliver the lecture ‘Mandela: the man and his legacy’ based on his
recently published biography of Nelson Mandela simply entitled
‘Mandela’.
Mandela tells the life and legacy of one of the twentieth centuries most

political leader, Peter Hain MP takes an in-depth look at Mandela’s rise
through the ranks of the African National Congress (ANC) and subsequent
imprisonment on Robben Island, where his increasingly vocal protests against
the injustices of Apartheid brought his struggle against overwhelming prejudice
and fear to the eyes of the world.
