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.
