Hard cover in very good condition. Text block clean and tight. No markings noted. Contains photos throughout, including front and rear endpapers.

From the book, ""As much as it speaks to our individual stories, this favorite spiritual seems also to express the story of our life together as Americans. Especially in this century, we have called upon it to comfort us as a nation at times when we long for relief from pain we all share. During foreign wars and periods of traumatic social unrest at home, ""Amazing Grace"" found a popular audience. World-famous gospel singers recorded it, and it climbed the pop charts. Civil rights leaders and antiwar activists gave us soulful versions. Each time the hymn rose to prominence, it settled deeper into our collective soul.""
