A spirited and intimate look at American icon and activist Pete Seeger. Throughout his life; Pete Seeger transformed a classic American musical style into a form of peaceful protest against war; segregation; and nuclear weapons. Drawing on his extensive talks with Seeger; Alec Wilkinson delivers a first hand look at Seegers unique blend of independence and commitment; charm; courage; energy; and belief in human equality and American democracy. We see Seeger as a child; instilled with a love of music by his parents; as a teenager; hearing real folk music for the first time; as a young adult; singing with Woody Guthrie. And finally; Seeger the man marching with the Rev. Martin Luther King in Selma; standing up to McCarthyism; and fighting for his beloved Hudson River. The gigantic life captured in this slender volume is truly an American anthem.From the Trade Paperback edition.
