Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela is arguably the most important South African ever to have lived, and a true giant of the 20th century. His journey from humble beginnings to the highest office is an inspiration to millions worldwide. His well-publicised oppression at the hands of the authorities was the making of his legendary status. But perhaps his biggest achievement came in reshaping South Africa as a truly rainbow nation, overcoming, at least in part, the artificial barriers of the past.
This Nelson Mandela biography looks at his life, his struggles and his rise to power, marking the life of a true icon of our time.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Not only was Martin Luther King responsible for some of the most dramatic political opposition to segregation and racism, he is the reason that civil disobedience was the main tool of the Civil Rights Movement. King was a pacifist and urged his followers to follow suit. He was able to gather the courage to do this by studying the ways of the indomitable Mahatma Gandhi and the incredible victories achievable by using only peaceful techniques.
Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream. This book is his story.
Queen Elizabeth II
At some point, when they reach their mid-sixties, most people will accept the ravages of later middle age and gracefully, often gratefully, ease themselves into retirement. Not so the Queen.
At 91 years, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II continues to work hard at her numerous duties for the nation and Commonwealth.
Having held the throne for 65 years, she continues to demonstrate her commitment to fulfilling her various roles – Head of State, figurehead of many charities, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, upholder of the faith for the Church of Scotland.
How has she achieved this? What enabled her to overcome the tribulations of the ‘80s and ‘90s? And why does she remain loved and respected in the hearts of so many?
Pope Francis
The last pope to resign was Gregory XII in 1417, who had been forced to do so. Benedict XVI gave as his reasons for resigning as declining health due to old age.
In his place came one Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, Archbishop of Buenos Aires, assuming the role with the iconic phrase “Accepto…I shall be known as Francis’. A catholic moderniser in his own right, Pope Francis has already made a lasting impression on the papacy. This is his story.
