Nonfiction Ron Brown: An Uncommon Life
Posted on 2010-03-16

More Ron Brown: An Uncommon Life Who was the real Ron Brown? Washington lawyer, secretary of Commerce, presidential king maker, deal maker, maverick, icon—one of the most intriguing and complex personalities of the twentieth century. He rose from segregated Harlem to the top levels of American politics. He broke every stereotype of race and class and mastered the art of winning in a world in transition. At the height of his game, when he had honed his skills, he would transform the way the game of politics was played. With bold and incisive reporting, New York Times journalist Steven A. Holmes recovers the lessons of Ron Brown’s life. Holmes reveals not only who Brown was but exactly how he arrived at the nexus of power. Born in Washington, D.C., in 1941 and reared in Harlem, Brown was descended from a resourceful, ambitious African American family. His forebears traveled the dirt roads of the Reconstruction South. Brown came of age against the backdrop of the emerging Civil Rights movement. He immersed himself in the world as an equal to the best and brightest in elite schools, as an army officer, and as the chief lobbyist for the National Urban League. He penetrated the veil of the white Democratic Party hierarchy, became a partner in the high-flying Washington law firm of Patton, Boggs & Blow, and he carved a place in history when he was elected chairman of the Democratic National Committee and emerged as its most effective champion in a generation. The higher he climbed, the more intense was the pressure and the more unforgiving the magnifying glass of the media.
