More about the book

The narrative explores the complex dynamics between gay Americans and military policies during World War II, highlighting the clash between their service and the prevailing antihomosexual sentiment. Allan Berube utilizes GIs' letters, interviews with veterans, and declassified documents to reveal a transformative power relationship, illustrating how both the military and gay citizens evolved through their shared experiences. This account emphasizes the dual battles fought by these individuals: one for their country and another for their rights and identities within the armed forces.
