Jurgen photographed Nelson Mandela from 1952 to the present day Mandela in his law office which he shared with Oliver Tambo in 1952 is the only record of the law office. Jurgen's image of Mandela looking through the bars of his Robben Island Cell in 1994 was voted as one of the 50 most memorable images of the 20th century by The Photographers Gallery in London.
“Extraordinary photographs of, and piercing interviews with, former former inmates, family members and jailers, form the core of this book. They reveal the great courage of these prisoners and their will to survive despite unimaginable physical and emotional suffering.”
