Invictus : Nelson Mandela and the game that made a nation / John Carlin [A]. -- New York : Penguin Books, 2008

In 1895, Nelson Mandela, then in prision for twenty-three years, set about winning over the fiercest proponents of apartheid before setting his sights on the nation's first free elections in 1994. But perhaps his greatest challenge was finding a cause that would unite the nation, fractured after fifty years of apartheid. His choice was one of the most far-fetched imaginable: the Springboks, their national rugby team, long an embodiment of white suprecist rule.
