“When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in‚ he has no choice but to become an outlaw” (Nelson Mandela 1995).

Playing the Enemy After reading playing the enemy‚ I must say I was actually pretty jealous of those fortunate enough to get to meet and leave an impression on the great man Nelson Mandela. The story was truly inspirational and after reading was very glad I chose this book to read. I knew that Nelson Mandela was a great man and I knew only part of his story.
