Marvel at the all-star musical cast of Jackson Browne, Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Sarah Lee Guthrie, many other musicians as well as an audience of one-thousand longshore workers. Bridges was an immigrant working stiff who loved Karl Marx and Jack London, and who fought government persecution for 21 years to become an American citizen. He had a profound effect on the American labor movement, at the same time counting Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles and Paul Robeson among his friends, He was revered by some, hated by others --a hero or the devil incarnate--but he faced it all with a twinkle in his eye. As Harry Bridges, Ian Ruskin takes you on a captivating journey through some of America's most exciting and turbulent years.
