This volume does an outstanding job exploring the origins and influences of the protest song, from a detailed account of the civil rights anthem,  We Shall Overcome,  to Green Day's denunciation of the U.S.-led  War on Terror  in its 2004 song,  American Idiot.  The first chapter serves as the springboard for the rest of the work, delving into the many aspects that  We Shall Overcome,  has taken on over the course of a century. The volume highlights fifty songs, with additional songs mentioned in numerous sidebars. The stories featured throughout the work are compelling, illustrating how  pop culture can provide such an effective insight into many other aspects of history.  History teachers will appreciate the author's reflection that he only grasped the full effect of the 1970 Kent State shootings after listening to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's  Ohio.  The entries are clearly organized, introducing the songwriter(s) and the inspiration that led to the featured song, then placing the songs in their social, political and cultural contexts. The author offers detailed analysis of the music and lyrics, going on to reflect on the song's lasting impact and modern relevance. While the work offers a thorough examination of protest songs within the 20th century timeframe, it points out that recent political events such as the war in Iraq have seen the protest song return to the mainstream. High school students will find the volume's language accessible and teachers can incorporate the interesting subject matter into cross-curricular units. An appendix of songs listed both chronologically and alphabetically, a bibliography of print and electronic sources and a general index round out the work. Highly recommended for high school and public libraries. --Doug's Student Reference Room, July 2009
