Great Mandela book called "Playing the Enemy"

[John Daley]

Hey G-K Community,
I've just started reading John Carlin's "Playing the Enemy, Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation." It's a fascinating and compelling story about Mandela and the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Mandela was able to embrace this sport which was loved by the Afrikaners and hated by the ANC and its supporters and in the process help South Africa turn the corner to reconciliation and away from civil war. Many of themes of the lives of Gandhi and King resonate here. I believe they're also making a movie based on this book. Anyway, read it! You won't be sorry.
