I would suggest that you also read what Henry Louis Gates, Jr. had
to say about this book.  See:

http://www.nytimes.com/1992/07/20/opinion/black-demagogues-and-pseudo-scholars.html?scp=2&sq=%22MICHAEL%20BRADLEY%22%20%22iceman%20inheritance%22&st=cse&pagewanted=print
 

or, using the latest in TiPS craze, DickensURL:
http://dickensurl.com/b119/Sadly_sadly_the_sun_rose_it_rose_upon_no_sadder_sight_than_the_man_of_good_abilities_and_good_emotions_incapable_of_their_directed_exercise_incapable_of_his_own_help_and_his_own_happiness_sensible_of_the_blight_on_him_and_resigning_himself_to_let_it_eat_him_away
 

which is based on:
|Sadly, sadly, the sun rose; it rose upon no sadder 
|sight than the man of good abilities and good emotions, 
|incapable of their directed exercise, incapable of his 
|own help and his own happiness, sensible of the blight 
|on him, and resigning himself to let it eat him away. 
|From A Tale of Two Cities

For the "traditionalist", use the TinyURL link:

Also what Ashley Montague had to say about the "claims" that Bradley
made in response to Gates' comments about his book, see:
http://www.nytimes.com/1992/08/29/opinion/l-source-for-book-on-race-faulted-for-racism-925292.html?n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/People/G/Gates,%20Henry%20Louis%20Jr.&scp=3&sq=%22MICHAEL%20BRADLEY%22%20%22iceman%20inheritance%22&st=cse

or, DickensURL:

which is based on:
|Take care, while you are young, 
|that you can think in those days, '
|I never whitened a hair of her dear head, 
|I never marked a sorrowful line in her face!' 
|For of all the many things that you can think 
|when you are a man, you had better have 
|that by you, Woolwich!
|From Bleak House
