　　A spirited and intimate look at American icon and activist

Pete Seeger, and his life and his accomplishments.

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 Seeger's unique blend of independence

and commitment, charm, courage, energy, and belief in human

equality and American democracy. We see Seeger, the child,

instilled with a love of music by his parents; Seeger, the

teenager, hearing real folk music for the first time; Seeger, the

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.
