The story of Sydney Kentridge is entwined with the fight against racial injustice and oppression in apartheid South Africa. From the 1950s to the 1980s, Kentridge appeared in some of the key courtroom clashes between the state and those who defied it. He defended Nelson Mandela from 1958 to 1961 in the Treason Trial; represented the victims in the inquiry into the Sharpeville massacre; defended his friend and colleague, the legendary communist advocate Bram Fischer; captured the attention of the world during the inquest into the death of Steve Biko; and fought for Winnie Mandela. He is the only advocate to have represented three winners of the Nobel Peace Prize - Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Chief Albert Luthuli. Told through the titanic legal battles of an era, The Mandela Brief is a unique account of the courtroom anti-apartheid struggles that shook the world - and of an extraordinary advocate and man.
