The definitive biography of Joe Strummer, released with a new epilogue to mark the 60th anniversary of his birth.With exclusive access to Strummer's friends, relatives, and fellow musicians, music journalist Chris Salewicz penetrates the soul of an rock 'n roll icon.
The Clash was--and still is--one of the most important groups of the late 1970s and early 1980s.

His untimely death in December 2002 shook the world to its core, further solidifying his iconic status.
Chris Salewicz was a friend to Strummer for close to three decades and has covered the Clash's career and the entire punk movement from its inception. He uses his vantage point to write Redemption Song, the definitive biography of Strummer, charting his enormous worldwide success, his bleak years in the wilderness after the Clash's bitter breakup, & his triumphant return to stardom at the end of his life.
Salewicz argues for Strummer's place in a long line of protest singers that includes Woody Guthrie, John Lennon, & Bob Marley, & examines by turns Strummer's & punk's ongoing cultural
