New book: Doing Life with Mandela

Announcing a very special offering from Blue Ear Books: an updated and enhanced new edition of a memoir by Nelson Mandela’s prison guard who became his lifelong friend.

“Brand had the bigness of heart to see beyond Mandela ‘the terrorist’, ‘the communist’, the convicted prisoner. Seeing that Mandela treated him with kindness and respect, he responded in kind. Brand may be seen as a milestone in Mandela’s political mission: his first white convert.”

– John Carlin, author of Playing the Enemy (made into the film Invictus) and Knowing Mandela
