A balanced portrait of folksinger Pete Seeger as both a political radical and a fervent, crusading Hudson River environmentalist.
Here, because of his forty-year friendship with Pete Seeger, Ed Renehan delivers the first serious objective account to reveal both the light and dark sides of Seeger's art and politics. Seeger's lifelong affinity with Communism, and the famous epoch of his blacklisting, inevitably bled into his later environmental activism on the Hudson River. Previous biographers have soft-pedaled the philosophical and political contradictions that defined this complex-but ultimately heroic-icon. In this volume, Renehan provides a stunning rebuttal to these hagiographies while at the same time giving Seeger the honest appraisal he most richly deserves.
