Why read it?
1 author picked Catch a Fire as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Although technically a biography, I view this book in the vein of mystery in many ways as it tells a compelling story of one of my most-admired musical/political heroes.
The story of Bob Marley, from his marginalized roots in Nine-Mile to world-renowned reggae artist and Rastafarian proponent of peace, is full of many trials and ordeals, including his own assassination attempt.
Timothy White's extensive research gave me a perspective of Bob that I would not otherwise have known about and took me deep into the life, beliefs, and challenges that Bob faced in his short life on our planet.
From William's list on mystery, intrigue and creative historical content.
