I like the movie. The book must be great too. I had ordered one for INR 941. When Book arrived , Book had price tag of INR 799. I simply returned it. Why would amazon do it this? I look for discount not the premium to be paid.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a moving story. An insight into the mind of most prolific human being of our age.

A beautifully written book on Mandela's wisdom and power of sports to bring a country together. But more than that this book gives you an idea of South Africa.
