TWO WORLD-RENOWNED revolutionary icons, Nelson Mandela and Fidel Castro, meet for the first time in Cuba in 1991, and speak together at a rally. Their speeches from that historic day are contained in this book. Mandela praises Cuba's assistance to incapacitate the US-backed South African army, accelerating the end to apartheid. Castro in turn acknowledges the particular contribution of South Africans to the world wide fight for freedom from oppression. Mandela and Castro regarded each other as mentors. The world regards them as heroes.
