A celebration of freedom and the man who fought so valiantly for it: NELSON MANDELA Almost 20 years ago, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela—brutally imprisoned in South Africa for his struggle against apartheid—was finally released. This beautiful illustrated volume commemorates that event and Mandela’s inspiring life and work.Created by renowned author David Elliot Cohen—who has worked with many of the top photojournalists who chronicled the “apartheid battles”—Nelson Mandela contains many images that have rarely, if ever, been seen, as well as the more iconic photos that have lingered in people’s minds. Like Obama: The Historic Front Pages, this will be rich in illustrations and elegantly designed, and will contain brief essays and key Mandela speeches rather than a running text.
International best-selling author and editor David Elliot Cohen has created or co-authored numerous large-format illustrated books—many with Rick Smolan—that have collectively sold more than five million copies. Most were in the hugely popular Day in the Life and America 24/7 photography book series. Four of Cohen's books, including A Day in the Life of the Soviet Union and America 24/7, have been New York Times bestsellers. Many others have been national bestsellers in the US and abroad, including A Day in the Life of Spain. Cohen has been profiled in almost every major periodical and many television news programs, and his books have appeared on the covers of Time and Newsweek. His books with Sterling include What Matters: The world's preeminent photojournalists and thinkers depict essential issues of our time (2008) and Obama: The Historic Front Pages (2009), which was on both the Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-seller lists.
