The publication is based on Mandela's personal reflections, letters written by him during his 27 years in prison, and hours of recordings for an unfinished autobiography that would have been a sequel to his memoir Long Walk to Freedom.
On Thursday's Riz Khan, we speak with Ahmed Kathrada, a veteran of the anti-apartheid movement who served decades in jail with Mandela, and discuss his conversations with his legendary friend.
This episode of Riz Khan aired from Thursday, October 14, 2010.
