Invictus - I Should Have Known

I should have known.  I was very interested in the movie Invictus, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1057500/, the story of Nelson Mandela and his support of the South African Rugby team, in an effort to unite the country.  It is a great story, and I love the poem, Invictus http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/invictus/.  I even use it as a therapy tool with my patients at work.

I should have known, that the movie was based on a book, John Carlin Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Made a Nation.  Well of course it was.  So that book is now on my "to read list."  I was not surprised that the Lubbock library did not have a copy, but I will order a copy through inter-library loan.  And, if I think it is worthwhile, I will order a copy for myself.
