Would definitely recommend the audiobook if you plan on reading this because you'll get to hear a lot of the interviews from their original recordings.

I'm glad I listened to this right before Pride month because let me tell you I am now ready to start a revolution. As someone who's read a lot of academic work about Stonewall in the past nothing in this book was particularly new or eye-opening for me, but it's always nice to hear directly from primary sources. If you're someone who's newer to queer history this could be a good one to pick up because it pulls from a wide range of sources and viewpoints surrounding the event.
