Pete Seeger Vs. The Un-Americans: A Tale Of The Blacklist

Excellent, a truly enjoyable and informative read. - STEVE BUSCEMI, actor/director "Edward Renehan does a great job of shining a light into this dark episode of American history." - BILLY BRAGG "I loved this book ... Bravo!" - JULIE GARFIELD, daughter of blacklisted screen-actor John Garfield "Fascinating, surprising, moving, inspiring." - ARTHUR GOLDWAG, author of THE NEW HATE: A HISTORY OF FEAR AND LOATHING ON THE POPULIST RIGHT Blacklists. Political witch-hunts. Congressional inquisitions. Loyalty oaths. And one brave banjo-wielding patriot willing to risk prison and professional ruin rather than acquiesce ... "Pete [was] blacklisted during the McCarthy era and had a hard time, but he never stopped." - BOB DYLAN "I am not going to answer any questions as to my association, my philosophical or religious beliefs or my political beliefs, or how I voted in any election, or any of these private affairs. I think these are very improper questions for any American to be asked ...." - PETE SEEGER, testifying before the House Select Committee on Un-American Activities, August 1955
