On the Tail of a Comet by Garth Lean
This definitive biography of Frank Buchman starts with a small-town American who set out to remake the world and in the attempt affected the moral and spiritual condition of thousands of people at every level of society throughout the world. From the rise of black nationalist independence movements in Africa to the civil rights hotbed in the U.S., in the lives of great leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Konrad Adenauer, and Harry Truman -- Buchman's remarkable influence kept turning up. Buchman was called a man of genius and an apostle to the twentieth century by Henry van Dusen in the Atlantic Monthly. He was founder of the Oxford Group and Moral Re-Armament, and the man whose ideas provided the impetus behind many change-oriented initiatives such as Alcoholics Anonymous. Buchman's biographer, Garth Lean, was a British journalist and prolific author. He held a masters degree in jurisprudence from Oxford University, and was a lifelong student of history. Among his books is God's Politician, a biographical study of William Wilberforce.
Garth Lean, Russell Staiff and Emma Waterton are all at the University of Western Sydney, Australia.
