The Last American Aristocrat: The Biography of David K.E. Bruce, 1898-1977 (Last American Aristocrat)

Summary: The most famous person I had never heard of.
Review: The book should have been called sleep inducing. Blah, basically what we have here is a 350 page boring article about who this guy met in his life - the bigger the name the more pages. I came away after reading half of the book wondering how this thing ever got the green light. You will not learn much here. Save your time and money.

Review: This biography of David K.E. Bruce provides an interesting look into all the world of the Political heavy weights of the middle 50 years of the 20th century. Bruce managed to cross paths with an amazing number of famous people, from his days as a World War One Messenger to being Head of the US OSS Office in London during WW2, to his being US Ambasador to France, West Germany, the UK, and then US Representative to the People's Republic of China. I found this a great book.
