    Nelson Mandela's autobiography, A Long Walk To Freedom. So many people want a copy to signal that they're cool and love the idea of the rainbow nation in South Africa, and that racism officially ended™ when Mandela wore a Springbok rugby jersey in 1995.

    They don't realise that in his autobiography Mandela says that he takes inspiration from other left wing leaders like Mao Zedong and Fidel Castro, and rips into the ideology of people like F.W de Klerk. If they actually read it, they'd probably be shocked.
