I am reading the book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation by John Carlin. This is the book that the movie Invictus http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1057500/ was based on. And, "Invictus" the poem http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/invictus/ is one of my favorites.
The book has been a little dry to read, and the author's writing style is a little difficult. But it is an important story. I was delighted at the movie.
We are so insular in the United States. We do not really always know what is happening in other parts of the world. We should pay more attention to the international scene.
