Howard Fast’s Peekskill: USA — A Personal Experience is a gripping eyewitness account of the infamous Peekskill Riots of 1949, sparked by anti-communist and racist backlash against a concert featuring Paul Robeson. Fast, who served as master of ceremonies at the event, recounts the violent mob attacks, police inaction, and broader social tensions in postwar America. This edition, published in the Soviet Union, reflects the international resonance of the incident and Fast’s commitment to civil rights and anti-fascist activism.
