The last chapters of the book describe his political ascension and his belief that the struggle still continued against apartheid in South Africa. He later achieved international recognition for his leadership as president in rebuilding the country's once segregationist society. Under the apartheid government, Mandela was regarded as a terrorist and jailed on the infamous Robben Island for his role as a leader of the then-outlawed African National Congress (ANC) and its armed wing the Umkhonto We Sizwe. The book profiles his early life, coming of age, education and 27 years spent in prison. It was ghostwritten by Richard Stengel and first published in 1994 by Little Brown & Co. Long Walk to Freedom is an autobiography credited to South African President Nelson Mandela.
