The famously taciturn South African president reveals much of himself in Long Walk to Freedom. A good deal of this autobiography was written secretly while Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years on Robben Island by South Africa's apartheid regime. Among the book's interesting revelations is Mandela's ambivalence toward his lifetime of devotion to public works. It cost him two marriages and kept him distant from a family life he might otherwise have cherished. Long Walk to Freedom also discloses a strong and generous spirit that refused to be broken under the most trying circumstances--a spirit in which just about everybody can find something to admire.

A fascinating book that should be read by everyone.......2007-07-03
It is not very often that I set to read non-fiction. This book, however, was originally recommended to me by a Rwanda refugee and so I made an exception. What a good decision that was.
Although I was familiar with Mandela's life and South Africa's struggle against the apartheid regime, this book provided me with much more profound understanding of the struggle and the historical events leading to the eventual overthrow of the racist regime. This book, however, is much more than an account of a dark time period in the history of humanity. Above all, this book is an amazing portrayal of a life of a man, an exceptional man who is much too human. We are taken through time, from Mandela's childhood to his presidency, blessed with a unique view of a man marked to die in a secluded prison. His struggle to become a "first-class" citizen and the brutal force with which the then government crushes the hopes of the young men and women is only but a part of the story. Most importantly, we are allowed a unique window into Mandela's psyche and his philosophy, for this book, to me, is mostly about human spirit, its strengths and its weaknesses. Mandela's contemplations regarding the social order, humanity, law, schools and his personal approaches are fascinating and profound. He delves into the depths of human behaviour in a fluid, understandable way; his words flow on the pages from one event onto the next, while maintaining a uniform message. Although he did engage in securing financing for a possible armed conflict, his hopes and faith reside in a non-violent solution. Mandela's life is, after all, one giant wound on the face of mankind. Neglected and abandoned by the superpowers of the world, the people of South Africa never lost hope and Mandela is a fascinating and shining example of a man, stripped of everything, who, no matter what life threw in his way, maintained his dignity and his sight not only on the problems, but also on the solutions. An amazing read I am happy to recommend. This book should be read by everyone.
The story behind legends.......2007-06-15
I had always heard that Nelson Mandela was a living legend, yet I knew so little about him. This book confirmed the legend.
The book takes you through the journey of his life. From his upbringing, to his entering the political life, his 27 years in prison and finally his return from prison to lead the nation. It is very interesting to read his rationale and thought process behind every decision, personal or political. He was a strong-willed man with an exceptionally strong sense of what is right and wrong. He spent 27 years in jail without ever applying for an appeal and rejecting every offer of release. He never lost his resolve even in the most trying of times. He believed that equality and freedom are every human's birthright and he was willing to die for the freedom of his people. The book has countless lessons not only for political leaders who lead nations but for common people for their day to day lives.
A must read for everybody. I would highly recommend it.
Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela.......2007-05-07
An excellent autobio by one of the few truly great men of the 20th century. Details his boyhood, early adulthood, and 27 (?) years in prison as a political prisoner of the apartheid government of South
Africa, followed by release and eventual President of the country. The amazing part is how, as President, he avoided revenge and eventually brought re conciliation to the races.
Very inspiring.......2007-04-10
There are all kinds of inspiring biographies and autobiographies. This one is unique. Most biographies lean toward the spiritual and base their inspiration on some divine energy or God. This is the most grounded in life biography that you can read. Not much about God, just about his own passion for equal rights. Even mindedness, even in the face of incredible pain.
Polit thriller.......2007-01-17
Despite due respect for a great leader, I did not really expect to like this autobiography very much. Mandela is no great speaker, his TV presence is rather flat, his English apparently not masterful. The life story in summary does not seem to have that much interest either, considering the long jail time and the fact that most of the "hot action" of the anti-apartheid movement happened while he was on Robben Island.
All wrong. The writing is surprisingly fluent, the story telling surprisingly efficient and free of waste as well as redundancies. Also free of sentimentality and exaggerated pathos.
If there is anything that I wished to be more detailed it is the period of his childhood and youth. This period is described in a rather remote way and with a sometimes irritating lack of explanation or reflection. I realized that may have happened due to the conditions under which the book was written: in jail. Also I could imagine that editors suggested some shortening: after all the book is still quite hefty.
If there is one negative comment that I have to make, it refers to NM's insistence that all trouble between black groups, such as the Inkatha violence problems, or tribal conflicts, have been caused by the perfidy of the whites. As much as I can understand the psychology behind this wishful thinking, I do not think it is a realistic approach.
Despite this comment and despite the book's size, it is never boring. Highly recommendable.

Fantastic, Fascinating.......2007-02-13
All of my students (all white, all American) love this book. Some say that they haven't read anything like it in the past.
Prison account is interesting but rest is dull.......2007-01-01
I only found half the book interesting, the half where he talks about life in prison. The rest is just too much factual information that one can get by reading a history book or reading wikipedia. There is also a lot of political mumbo jumbo that tries to simplify a very complex political problem.
One really gains little insight into Mandela the human being . If you want to learn about Mandela the politician then this book is for you. I also did not like the narration by Glover. It was difficult to understand his accent and he spoke in a very unusual manner. I have a collection of over a hundred audio books, mostly non-fiction and this narration ranks among the least 'listenable'.
Audio - Long Walk to Freedom.......2005-08-27
I had to read the book for a class so I purchased the audio to go along with it to help speed things up. The audio follows the book's order, but skips over sections here and there. As a stand alone audio, it flows just nicely and was very enlightening.
Interesting narrative.......2005-04-08
Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and the first democratically elected president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela began his autobiography during the course of his 27 years in prison. This audio offers a biography of Mandela's life from his birth in 1918 to his inauguration as president of South Africa in 1994. A large part of the audio is a description of his 27 years in prison, an account that could stand alone as a prison narrative. Long Walk to Freedom also explores Mandela's strong spirit that refused to be broken under very difficult circumstances. It ends with a call for everyone to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. From AudioColumn.com

Good Book - But be open minded.......2005-06-22
INTRO: This is the first book of this size that I have read about S. Africa. Having many relatives from S. Africa , I've heard the white side of the story about post-apartheid atrocities and unfairness, but this is the first history I've read of the history before 1994. This book really is fascinating in seeing the black perspective of the problem as well as chronologically laying out the evolution of the struggle.
BODY: An important thing to keep in mind is that this book is written by Nelson Mandela himself who is not a partial bystander. Many times in fact, the book reads like a training manual for aspiring revolutionaries. While the history of the book is not in question, you need to understand that he paints them in a very specific light. At the end of the book, you hear nothing about any killings on behalf of the ANC only about the killings which were done to them. Another example of the political agenda of this book is near the beginning when Nelson Mandela makes the statement that the tribal politics that existed before the white man was "democracy in it's purest form".
CONCLUSION: You should enjoy this book and admire Nelson Mandela for his lifetime of sacrifice and devotion to racial equality. However, don't place all your eggs in one basket and realize that there is more to the story than that of the radical revolutionary Mandela's. This book has inspired me to look further into S. Africa's present and past history.

Book Description
"Shah...has written a book that couldn't be more relevant." -USA Today
"Required reading for all who care about the future of this country and the planet as a whole."- The Nation
"This is not a Michael Moore-style anti-corporate rant-Shah writes beautifully, with dispassionate, elegant clarity-and it is all the more powerful for it."- The Guardian (UK)
"Shah has that crisp writing style and that knack for deploying statistics judiciously, rather than maniacally…most rewarding."-The Age (Melbourne, Australia)
"Riveting...[Crude] is an informative, startling, and necessary book."-Roy Morrison, author of Ecological Democracy
"The facts and figures of the world's most important energy resource come alive…[Shah] helps us understand the energy subsidy oil gives our society, how our economy is dependent on it, and what the real ramifications are of turning the key in the ignition."-Julian Darley, author of High Noon for Natural Gas
Now newly revised and updated, Crude is the story of the black gold that eclipsed King Coal, decisively won the Great War, and propelled the West from the Industrial Revolution to the Plastic Age. Sonia Shah elegantly weaves together the science, economics, politics, and social history of oil in her inimitable telling.
A former editor at South End Press and Nuclear Times magazine,
Sonia Shah is an independent journalist whose writing has appeared in The Nation, Playboy, The Ecologist, Orion, and Salon.
Customer Reviews:
"Crude" .......2006-09-07
I highly recommend this book to everyone.
First Ms. Shah's extensive research and cross-referencing is impressive and adds a lot of credibility to the work.
Second, for someone tackling an issue as polarizing and sensitive as oil, Ms. Shah presents a remarkably cool tone through the book, although I think her opinions are clear. The book does not antagonize anyone, as some activisty books tend to do.
What I also loved about this book was that it gave comprehensive treatment to the story of oil, focusing not just on the environment, or on geopolitics, or on capitalism, rather addressing each in turn, which made it tremendously educational and multi-dimensional.
Ultimately I would judge the book by its impact on me. And I can safely say that ever since I read "Crude" I've been looking at the world a little differently - and that for an author is a remarkable achievement.
A Green Critique of Fossil Fuels.......2006-07-30
Sonia Shah, an Asian-American feminist whose free-lance writing has appeared in leftist publications such as "The Nation", has written an easy-to-read 250-paged book that begins with some earth science followed by a short history of oil, then evolves into a `Green' critique of oil dependency as an energy resource. The parts that cover the history of `black gold' include the preface "For the Love of Oil", introduction "Oil is Born", chapter one "The Eclipse of Coal", chapter two "Exile from Tethys", chapter three "Into the Cold", chapter four "Rockefeller's Ghost", and chapter five "Refining the Hunt". The chapters that critique the oil business and the manner in which oil is consumed are chapter six "Aftershocks", chapter seven "The Curse of Crude", chapter eight "Carbon Perils", chapter nine "Running on Empty", chapter ten "Challengers, Old and New", and a conclusion "Death Throes". These chapters are followed by tables, notes, index, and acknowledgments.
Shah begins her tale noting that oil-rich countries are filled with poor people: "Within a century of drilling the first oil well in 1859 . . . Americans alone gorge on no less than three gallons every day - the average Asian or African receives few of the benefits of the planet's crude" (pviii), despite living on top of vast reserves of oil in places such as Indonesia or Nigeria. Shah explains "The giant Western oil companies don't own access to the majority of the world's oil, which is controlled by governments [Shah neglects to tell us that those governments were installed by CIA] . . . But they make the most money from oil" (pix).
Shah tells us how Middle East oil came to be. About 200 million years ago, [some evangelicals preposterously say 6 or 9,000 years ago], the Earth had a single super-continent called Pangaea. Shah says around 180 million years ago [scientists say 120 million years ago], that the super-continent began to break into two parts as "a warm shallow sea washed just above the equator, splitting the continent that had previously covered the earth into two major subcontinents, Laurasia and Gondwanaland"(pxx). This sea, called the Tethys, produced a sediment over the course of 100 million years that eventually became oil when the Tethys eventually dried up. Shah says "Those sunken sea bottoms of the Tethys now contain about two-thirds of the world's oil"(pxx). Actually, Russia has more oil in hard-to-reach reserves than all the Arab countries put together, which is why the notorious state terrorist Daddy Bush made friends with them back in 1989.
In Chapters one and two, Shah explains how the first World War demonstrated the need for oil to the warring `civilized' countries - "securing access to oil was crucial to maintaining power"(p14). World War II proved the need for oil and the British partnered with the Yanks to maintain global hegemony. America, ruled by oil-rich elites who pulled the government's strings, jumped at the opportunity to provide the brawn to British empire. Shah says "Arrangements were duly made with the British" (p14). Britain kept Iranian oil, the U.S. and U.K. shared Iraqi and Kuwaiti oil, and Sa'udi oil from Arabia would be U.S. oil.
On Middle East conflict, Shah writes "When Britain pulled out of colonial Palestine in 1948, it had handed power over much of the country to the minority [immigrant] Jewish population [the freed victims of Hitler's concentration camps in Germany] (p20). Shah doesn't tell us why Britain had to do this - because of Zionist terrorist attacks in England or that the British government was so infiltrated with Zionists that the Zionists knew of British peacekeeping plans for Palestine before the British troops in Palestine knew of them, and therefore were ineffective at keeping peace. But really, giving Palestine to the Zionists was a deal hatched by Rothschild with the British government long before and was why Ned Lawrence of Arabia was later assassinated. But Shah does recognize that oil politics left the Middle East "mired in dispossession and conflict"(p20). Thus has always been British empire, now American-powered.
In chapter three, Shah shows us that her knowledge of what is happening is largely dependent on reading what others have to say, such as Daniel Yergin and Greenpeace. She writes "The second `oil shock' arrived in 1979 when Islamic fundamentalists overthrew the Shah of Iran" (p31). Shah neglects to inform us that CIA had a back-up plan in the form of Ayatollah Khomeini who was stashed in France until needed. According to Le Monde, Iranians reacted predictably to intentionally leaked CIA reports that CIA was going to reinstall Shah Pahlevi as the Hitlerite dictator of Iran. After hearing this, CIA personnel were taken hostage in Teheran and CIA was told that they would swap the hostages for Shah Pahlevi. Pahlevi, who came to America for medical treatment and whose presence touched off a wave of unreported terrorist attacks against military bases in America by Iranian students, died and Khomeini was then moved into the void in Iran to trick the populace with his false anti-American rhetoric. Khomeini successfully took over and oil continued to flow to Europe and Japan, while his military was covertly supplied by America, his internal enemies massacred by the tens of thousands, his F-4 fighters provided AWAC support against Iraqi MIGs during the Iran-Iraq War, and U.S. surveillance stations were maintained along the Iranian-Soviet border.
Similarly, Shah does not know what really happened in Iraq either. She writes: "In August 1990, the wrath of the Carter Doctrine fell upon Iraq when it attempted to annex neighboring oil-rich Kuwait . . . [and Daddy Bush] responded with deadly force, followed by a regime of sanctions and years of aerial bombings" (p37) Shah doesn't appear to understand that the rulers of Iraq and Iran were both installed by CIA and both maintained by the U.S. government. `War is the health of the State' and explains why war strengthened the dictatorships in these Middle East countries. Kuwait was a problem to the West, funding the reIslamization of Bosnia - Sarejevo was not allowed to host the Winter Olympics to have them turn around and become Islamic (before you know it, they'll stop paying interest because Islam prohibits it, and the Western bankers depend on interest). Saddam was given the U.S. go-ahead to attack Kuwait in retaliation for Kuwait's alleged slant-drilling of Iraqi oil. After Saddam sent his conscripted troops of internal dissidents into Kuwait, the U.S. killed them for Saddam. This solved the problem of growing numbers of internal dissidents since the cessation of war between Iran and Iraq where the dictators had previously killed each other's internal dissidents conscripted into the military. Shah is correct about the 130 consecutive months of U.S. and British bombings after that and all during the Clinton presidency and Bush Junior presidency up to the current invasion and occupation of Iraq. If the sham democracy that the U.K. and U.S. have installed there doesn't take root, Saddam is kept alive and healthy on the sidelines in case his dictatorship is needed again as a last resort.
Shah concludes by warning of the end of oil's story. Here again she shows that some participant observation would help to inform her analysis rather than relying on what wordpushers are churning out - thousands of books are funded by CIA in the name of disinformation, and she should find out for herself what is going on rather than reading their rubbish. What is happening is that the corporations have figured out that oil can be grown from soybeans and other farm products rather than be pumped from finite reserves beneath the earth. So mega-farms owned by corporations are next at the expense of family farms. Grease powered cars, trucks, and tractors are next and the new lords will be "artificial persons" aka `corporations'. The new aristocracy will buy and merge the family farms into vast acreages manned by sharecroppers while the corporate owners and CEOs live as absentee landlords in their plush private compounds - much as we see today after large chunks of India were carved up by the British and made into a British creation called "Pakistan", where vast mega-farms are worked by sharecroppers while the Ox-bridge elites wallow in luxury in Islamabad. Today's American property owner finds himself, once again, as a serf to a feudal "corporate" master who will take their land to grow oil. That is the future of oil.
Crude: The Story of Oil.......2006-01-12
I must say Sonia Shah has done a masterful job of covering the history and geography of oil very succinctly and brilliantly in such a slim volume. This is a good book on oil for those beginners who want to understand the politics and the economics of oil. As Daniel Yergin has said: oil has brought out both the best and the worst of our civilization over almost a century and a half and it has been both boon and burden. This is very well captured by her in her book. Those who want to or need to know something about oil in a hurry should find this book very helpful.
A Very Informative Read!.......2005-10-16
There is tons of great information in this book. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who's attempting to find out more about the oil industry, and its sordid history. I'm guessing that most people fill up their gas tanks each week have no idea of the tortuous path that gasoline takes from the time its pumped from the ground to its eventual transfer to the local gas station.
The negative effects that the oil industry has had on the environment will be felt for perhaps hundreds of years. I, for one, am very glad for the advent of Peak Oil. In fact, the entire world would have been better off had oil never been discovered.
Back to the book, Shah does a good job of covering an immense amount of information and condensing it down to a slim volume. I would have like to have more detail in some areas, but certainly understand the parameters under which she was working.
I highly recommend this book, even to people who are more inclined to view the oil industry favorably.
A polemic against Big Oil.......2005-09-13
"Crude - The Story of Oil" is a disappointing book that did not live up to its promise. It came across to me as a polemic against the oil industry; dressed up as scholarship with more source references than I have ever seen in a non-specialist, popular book.
Virtually every paragraph has several notes. Even the two-and-a-half page concluding chapter has 10 references. But a profusion of notes does not imply objectivity or even completeness.
Shah has certainly been a diligent researcher of her topic, but unfortunately she has not translated her mass of material into an objective account of the issues surrounding oil. Maybe that was not her intent.
Shah is a journalist according to the cover blurb, and it shows. The book uses the clichés and tricks of reportage that are commonplace in newspapers. Rather than enhancing the arguments, such a style comes across as partisan and off-putting.
This book will appeal to those who share similar views to Shah, but it will disappoint thoughtful readers who want a balanced account of how crude oil has both enhanced and diminished our lives.

From the supplier: Western petroleum companies such as Chevron and Elf Aquitaine have oil exploration contracts in Kazakhstan, which needs the foreign investment to help its weak economy. Some Kazakhs fear that these companies will exploit their country, while others welcome the economic opportunity.
