The purpose of this memoir is not to write the whole story from Nelson Mandela's release in 1990 to the first democratic elections in 1994. That has already been done. My aim is merely to describe the Danish efforts during the negotiation process in the four years that culminated in the adoption of South Africa's first democratic constitution and the installation of Mandela as president.
