Description
The Rugby World Cup final of 1995 was the last act of the most improbable exercise in mass seduction ever seen: Nelson Mandela’s conquest of the hearts of white South Africa. Invictus is the thrilling story of how the most charismatic genius, charm and generous vision to pull off this most unlikely of miracles.
“The train of events leading up to what has been called South Africa’s epiphany has long been crying out for a multi-layered account and it is to John Carlin’s eternal credit that he written it. This is not so much a sporting volume s a wonderfully crafted and beautifully written work of modern political history.” Matthew Syed, The Times
