After being released from prison and winning South Africa's first free election, Nelson Mandela presided over a country still deeply divided by fifty years of apartheid. His plan was ambitious if not far-fetched: use the national rugby team, the Springboks-long an embodiment of white-supremacist rule-to embody and engage a new South Africa as they prepared to host the 1995 World Cup. The string of wins that followed not only defied the odds, but capped Mandela's miraculous effort to bring South Africans together again in a hard-won, enduring bond.Playing The EnemyIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter I:\u003c\/b\u003e Breakfast in Houghton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter II:\u003c\/b\u003e The Minister of Justice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter III:\u003c\/b\u003e Separate Amenities\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter IV:\u003c\/b\u003e Bagging the Croc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter V:\u003c\/b\u003e Different Planets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter VI:\u003c\/b\u003e Ayatollah Mandela\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter VII:\u003c\/b\u003e The Tiger King\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter VIII:\u003c\/b\u003e The Mask\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter IX:\u003c\/b\u003e The Bitter-Enders\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter X:\u003c\/b\u003e Romancing the General\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter XI:\u003c\/b\u003e \"Address Their Hearts\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter XII:\u003c\/b\u003e The Captain and the President\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter XIII:\u003c\/b\u003e Springbok Serenade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter XIV:\u003c\/b\u003e Silvermine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter XV:\u003c\/b\u003e Doubting Thomases\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter XVI:\u003c\/b\u003e The Number Six Jersey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter XVII:\u003c\/b\u003e \"Nelson!
