Desmond Tutu was the spiritual leader of a peaceful resistance to the Apartheid government in South Africa. I have respected his actions and have often considered him a person to look to in violent situations for a different approach to that violence. This book was a biography of Tutu. I thought that the book had valuable information, but the chapters were very long and there was an extreme amount of detail, that I did not find necessary. I appreciated the authors desire to tell all of Tutu's life, but at times it was a little dry. I particularly appreciated the chapter pertaining to the TRC (the second to last chapter in the book). I felt this was the climax of the book, and was my favorite chapter. The life of Desmond Tutu is quite amazing
