Ask and Tell

More about the book

The book chronicles the history of gay and lesbian service members in the U.S. military, spanning from World War II to the Iraq War. It addresses the impact of President Clinton's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, which fostered a culture of silence around the contributions of these soldiers. By recovering their stories, the narrative highlights the patriotic service and sacrifices of homosexual troops, bringing to light their often overlooked experiences and struggles within the military framework.
