Descripción
Sumario:Drawing on GIs' wartime letters, extensive interviews with gay veterans, and declassified military documents, Bérubé constructs a startling history of the two wars gay military men and women fought--one for America and the other for their own survival as homosexuals within the military. This book has become a classic since it was published in 1990 and remains a valuable contribution to the history of World War II, at home and abroad, as well as to the ongoing debate regarding the role of gays in the U.S. military.
