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. Pete Seeger: His Life in His Own Words, collects Seeger's 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. 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.

This is a wonderful collection of Pete Seeger's words It's so great to have it all in one volume. It is a very valuable tribute to a man who has been an activist as well as a musician all his life. I may purchase copies for other Pete Seeger admirers in my family.. "Brilliant man, very interesting insight into an influential and controversial artist." according to M. Thomas. It's a blend of letters/articles/notes from periods long past and more recent. Interesting to see the take on the controversial items from the time they were happening, and then hearing about them from a wiser/older Pete.It is odd to hear so much about Communism in this book, but I think that Pete's version of communism isn't what most would think of.
