Editorial Review:
In 1976, while on assignment in Jamaica for Time magazine, David Burnett photographed Bob Marley for the first time, and Burnett became so entranced by Marley’s charisma that he continued to document the reggae king throughout his groundbreaking European “Exodus” tour. Burnett’s vision, coupled with Marley’s larger-than-life charisma, resulted in an amazing collection of images, only a handful of which appeared in the Time article. The other photos — more than 200 in all — appear for the first time in Soul Rebel. This stunning visual biography offers a rare look at Marley’s personal life in Jamaica, as well as the exodus from his home country that culminated in his tragic death in 1981. Though it focused on Marley, Burnett’s work also canvassed a wide array of up-and-coming reggae talents, providing striking early looks at Peter Tosh, Lee Scratch Perry, Burning Spear, and Ras Michael. Compelling and incomparably candid, Soul Rebel is a remarkable testament to the legacy of a legend.
Soul Rebel: An Intimate Portrait of Bob Marley in Jamaica and Beyond Reviews:
Soul Rebel: An Intimate Portrait of Bob Marley in Jamaica and Beyond 
2009-08-17 - The photos are absolutely stunning! Beautiful Marley pics! Although I am a Bob Marley's fan, and have accumulated quite a bit of paraphernalia, I thought "Soul Rebel" was a fairly good find. There is some pertinent information about Marley but the book is not entirely about him; it covers other reggae artists. The title presented the idea that it was maybe a biography "intimate portrait" of Marley--not the case. I'm a little bias so I'm happy to get my hands on anything of, by or on Marley. Others, however, may find it a bit misleading.
An Amazing look at Bob Marley
2009-07-17 - Unlike anything before it Soul Rebel captures Marley's spirit with a truly candid look at the artist and musical revolutionary. The best book on Bob Marley that I've ever had the pleasure to own.

THE PHOTOS ARE WONDERFUL!
IT IS A GREAT PICTURE STORY OF HIS LIFE.
A captivating photographic collection that reveals the man behind the music
2009-03-14 - Soul Rebel: An Intimate Portrait of Bob Marley is an amazing photographic portrait of reggae music legend Bob Marley. Filled cover to cover with black-and-white and color photographs of Marley that "Time" magazine photojournalist David Burnett took in 1976 and 1977, Soul Rebel is further enhanced by Burnett's reminiscences of those bygone days, and the unforgettable experience of meeting and working with Marley. Many of the images are quite candid, and show Marley in his day-to-day life as much as his time on stage giving performances. A captivating photographic collection that reveals the man behind the music.
Soul Rebel
2009-03-03 - I have always been amazed why we have not seen books before now by David Burnett. Although shy and introverted, this award winning snapper should
use this splendid book, with Burnett's well composed text, as a spring-board for more such tomes. I have followed Burnett's career for years
and while most of his pictures were obviously taken with an Instamatic, it is his unique composition that makes this a "must have" to add to your
photojournalism library. Also important, it gives hope to all amateurs that we too can make it in the BIG TIME, with a simple "point and snap." Of course, the MAJOR difference is DB has "the eye" and we don't. BUY IT!
