_Conversations With Myself_ is a moving collection of letters, diary entries and other writing that provides a rare chance to see the other side of Nelson Mandela's life, in his own voice: direct, clear, private. An international bestseller, _Conversations With Myself_ is an intensely personal book that complements his autobiography _Long Walk to Freedom_.
_Conversations With Myself_ gives readers insight to the darkest hours of Nelson Mandela's twenty-seven years of imprisonment and his troubled dreams in his cell on Robben Island. It contains the draft of an unfinished sequel to _Long Walk to Freedom_, notes from Madiba's famous speeches, and even doodles made during meetings. There are photos from his life, journals written while on the run during the anti-apartheid struggles of the early 1960s, and conversations with friends in almost 70 hours of recorded interviews. An intimate journey from the first stirrings of his political conscience to his galvanizing role on the world stage, _Conversations With Myself_ is an extraordinary glimpse of the man behind one of the world's most beloved public figures.
