Emphatically revisionist, Bob Pepperman Taylor reveals a Thoreau most people never knew existed. Taylor argues that Thoreau was one of America’s most powerful and least understood political thinkers, a man who promoted community and democratic values, while being ever vigilant against the evils of excessive or illegitimate authority.
