Although Joe Klein's Woody Guthrie and Ed Cray's Ramblin' Man capture Woody Guthrie's
freewheeling personality and his empathy for the poor and downtrodden, Kaufman is
the first to portray in detail Guthrie's commitment to political radicalism, especially
communism. Drawing on previously unseen letters, song lyrics, essays, and interviews
with family and friends, Kaufman traces Guthrie's involvement in the workers' movement
and his development of protest songs. He portrays Guthrie as a committed and flawed
human immersed in political complexity and harrowing personal struggle. Since most
of the stories in Kaufman's appreciative portrait will be familiar to readers interested
in Guthrie, it is best for those who know little about the singer to read first his
autobiography, Bound for Glory, or as a next read after American Radical
