Long an icon of American musical and political life; Pete Seeger has written eloquently in a diverse array of publications but nowhere is his life story more personally chronicled than in these; his private writings; documents and letters stored for decades in his family barn. Pete Seeger: His Life in His Own Words; collects Seegers letters; notes; published articles; rough drafts; stories and poetry - creating the most intimate picture yet available of Seeger as a musician; an activist and a family man. The book covers the passions; personalities and experiences of a lifetime of struggle - from the pre-WWII labour movement and the Communist Party; to Woody Guthrie; the Civil Rights movement and the struggle against the war in Vietnam. The portrait that emerges is not of a saint; but a flesh-and-blood man; struggling to understand his time and his place.
