Gays and the Military

Rating:
Summary: A useful-enough text
Review: This book deals with issues that occured before the gays-in-the-military debate was in full swing in 1993. Thus, it feels a little dated. Further, it's a collection of documents that fueled the debate, rather than an analysis or an autobiography from one of the expelled gay soldiers. Still, when I was writing my senior college thesis, this book was useful to me. Its best item is an affidavit submitted by the late gay scholar John Boswell. There are better books on the topic, but this one wasn't bad.
