Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation

by: John Carlin
Awe inspiring. Carlin gives enough back history of South Africa and the poltical tension that preceeded the 1995 World Cup Rugby game to make you want to stand up and cheer at the end of the book.

Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation

by: John Carlin
This is not a book about a rugby game--it is a story of the brilliance of Nelson Mandela and his leadership skills that allowed South Africa to transition from the apartheid era to a more inclusive democracy. If you have recently seen and enjoyed the movie "Invictus", this book will provide a whole lot more depth and complexity to the story. Having spent more than 13 months living in South Africa in the last four years, I have read scores of books about South Africa and Africa. This is one of the most enjoyable and informative of the bunch.
