Conversations with Myself
by Nelson Mandela
Mandela's letters, diaries, prison notes and recorded conversations, arranged thematically. Rawer and more intimate than the autobiography.
Read it if…
you read Long Walk to Freedom and want the private man.

Skip it if…
you want a narrative.
Try instead: Gandhi: An Autobiography →
Three things you will actually use
- Discipline in captivity.
- Humility in power.
- Private doubt, public steadiness.
Do this first
Read the prison letters to his children.
Our verdict
Mandela, privately.
