This book was provided to me by NetGalley and Plough Publishing. All opinions are my own. Pub Date 5th Nov 2018. As a big fan of nonfiction in graphic novel form, this book was easy for me to get excited about. While Mandela as a public figure his highly recognizable, I do believe that a lot of the details on the process of abolishing apartheid is pretty fuzzy for people now. This book fills this gap by covering a crucial time in South Africa leading up to the first free elections in 1994 with the account of General Viljoen, an Afrikaaner who lead an opposition party. The story sheds light on the genius that was Mandela and how he used his knowledge of people and culture to pursue a path that lead to freedom and peace. The art work in the book is stunning and really carries the narrative quite powerfully. I really liked the reduced usage of color throughout the book.
