Robbie Lieberman is the author of "My Song is My Weapon: People's Songs, American Communism, and the Politics of Culture, 1930-1950" which won the Deems Taylor Award from the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP).

Drawing on archive material and oral history, Robbie Lieberman illustrates how grassroots peace activism in the USA became associated with Communist subversion after World War II, enabling proponents of the Cold War to virtually silence the opposition until the early 1960s.
