“Thoughtful, provocative . ?Choice Activist, international statesman, reluctant black leader, scholar, icon, father and husband, Ralph Bunche is one of the most complicated and fascinating figures in the history of twentieth- century America. Bunche played a central role in shaping international relations from the 1940s through the 1960s, first as chief of the Africa section of the Office of Strategic Services and then as part of the State Department group working to establish the United Nations. Moreover, Henry ably demonstrates how Bunche’s rise and fall as a public symbol tells us as much about America as it does about Bunche. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Subject
