WINNIE AND NELSON: Portrait of a Marriage, by Jonny SteinbergThe South African leader and anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela died in 2013, suffering from dementia.
Six decades after their relationship began, Jonny Steinberg writes in “Winnie and Nelson,” here she was beside him again.
He was a 38-year-old attorney, nearly twice Winnie’s age, and married with three children.
She was a social worker and engaged to a part-time office worker who would attempt to take his own life months later when Winnie told him she was going to marry Nelson instead.
“Especially one who will live the rest of his life running away from the police and sleeping in the bush.”
