Summary: 'Steven Gish has done history and South Africa an important service by recording and appraising the life of Alfred B. Xuma, thereby rescuing from near obscurity one of the major founders of the post-apartheid order. The new South Africa owes a large debt to the political traditions of the African National Congress, and the ANC owes much to Xuma's strong leadership in the decade just prior to its emergence as a mass movement...this balanced and insightful study adds significantly to our knowledge of an under-appreciated figure in South Africa's modern history.' - Gail M. Gerhart, Journal of A
