Still a brilliant book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
10 years after it was published, this book is still a landmark in the field. Other scholars now are claiming to "discover" events, trends, and issues that were well covered by Alwood's book already.
A Brilliant Book

This is a superb book and an indispensable contribution to gay history. Everyone concerned about the power of journalism to inform or distort should read it.
