Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"Finally, a biography of Bernstein that does not merely chronicle his career but truly explains it. Barry Seldes argues most convincingly that Bernstein's life in music is bound up with his political perspective, and his creative commitments reflected his social ones. What emerges from this meticulously researched, engagingly written, and utterly fascinating account is a richer, truer portrait of an important American composer, conductor, and citizen."--Elizabeth Bergman, author of Music for the Common Man: Aaron Copland during the Depression and War Review:"There have been full-scale Bernstein biographies by Joan Peyser, Meryle Secrest and Humphrey Burton, each unsatisfying in its own way. Barry Seldes offers something different—a trim volume that concentrates on
Bernstein's politics. . . . Seldes, who has written exactly the book he set out to write, has made a major contribution." - Opera News Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgments Introduction 1.
