Nelson Mandela began secretly writing his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, while he was still in prison on S. Africa's Robben Island and Pollsmoor Prison. The book describes his childhood, schooling and his 27 years in prison for anti-apartheid activities. He also talks of his nation's politics and of the people who influenced his beliefs. The book was only published in 1995, five years after Mandela's release from prison, two years after he received a Nobel Peace Prize and a year after he became S. Africa's first elected black president.
His book was dedicated to "my six children, Madiba and Makaziwe (my first daughter) who are now deceased, and to Makgatho, Makaziwe, Zenani and Zindzi, whose support and love I treasure; to my twenty-one grandchildren and three great-grandchildren who give me great pleasure; and to all my comrades, friends and fellow South Africans whom I serve and whose courage determination and patriotism remain my source of inspiration"
