NELSON PEERY has just published his memoir, "Black Fire: The Making of an American Revolutionary (The New Press)," about coming of age against a background of racism, the Depression, and World War II. The book chronicles PEERY's travels west during the Depression, and his experiences as a soldier fighting in World War II. He writes about his simultaneous love for America and hatred for the people who discriminated against African Americans, especially in the army.
