Bob Marley was the undisputed sovereign of reggae music and the revolutionary soul-prophet whose music had - and continues to have - a massive impact on people of all races throughout the world. Catch a Fire chronicles his life and career as well as the milieu that shaped Marley's spiritual and political beliefs. This fully revised and expanded new edition features fascinating inside information on the intrigues of the reggae music business, the dramatic rise of Bob's musical offspring, the complex legal struggles surrounding the Marley estate, and a sweeping social history of modern Jamaica and the origins of the Rastafarian religion.
