Excellent Reading About Our History
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I started reading this book thinking it was on how to more active in obtaining our right as equal citizens. Instead it was a GREAT history lesson about the Gay Rights Movement and our role models of the movement. I suggest ALL GLBT people read this book and know where we came from and where we are going. And take lessons on how to get things done....This book holds important info on our history as a group.

The Definitive Work
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Eisenbach presents herein an incredibly comprehensive and well researched study about the gay rights movement in America. His easy narrative style combined with his meticulously detailed research make for an exceedingly enjoyable, rewarding read. After having done a research paper myself on the gay rights movement in America, it has become abundantly clear that this work is one of a kind, as no other author has so fully and successfully tackled the tale of this movement and its heroes. Highly reccomended for anyone interested in how civil-rights are won in this country. And for those who are already well-versed, Eisenbach fleshes out with great care original concepts of how the media impacted the movement, such as his "media-trigger". A must-read!
