Fantastic,
By A Customer
This review is from: One Step Behind Mandela: The Story of Rory Steyn, Nelson Mandela's Chief Bodyguard (Paperback)
A great insight into the humility of the man, Mandela, and how this affected all those who came into contact with him on a day to day basis. Written in a simple way, easy to follow and understand, and very moreish! I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.

It also describes how Steyn, a traditional white South African, came to the realization that he would risk his life for Mandela. This book shows the humility of the man..highly recommended. It also gives a facet on the highly disciplined life of Mandela, despite 27 years of imprisonment; he still kept his dignity

One Step Behind Mandela,
By c.a. mauldin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: One Step Behind Mandela: The Story of Rory Steyn, Nelson Mandela's Chief Bodyguard (Paperback)
An excellent book! This book was very well written and contained in depth information about executive and personal protection that few people have the intimate knowledge to find out about. I was especially drawn to the special relationship that formed between Mr. Steyn & his protectee, President Nelson Mandela. This book also contained some very humerous passages, such as the incident where the driver for Mr. Mandala's principal car accidently locked the keys in the car, with the president's helicopter inbound a due to land in a few minutes! I would recommend this book to any protection specialist in the field and others alike.

Mandatory reading for leaders, including public officials!,
By Robert K. Furrer "Swissboy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: One Step Behind Mandela: The Story of Rory Steyn, Nelson Mandela's Chief Bodyguard (Paperback)
Thanks to Steyn we get a closer look at one of the most fascinating persons in modern history. Nelson Mandela demonstrates most convincingly that integrity and respect for fellow human beings of all levels is not a sign of weakness but rather the ultimate demonstration of greatness. This book ought to be mandatory reading for every person in a leading position, be it in the political or any other field. Thus, let us hope that it becomes more readily available outside of South Africa!
