Coming Out Under Fire: The History of Gay Men and Women in World War Two by Allan Bérubé

informative medium-paced

4.0

A good history of both gay military service in WWII and of the evolving role of psychiatry in thinking about and affecting policy towards homosexuality. This book is a bit hostage to its source base, eager to draw on military records in some places where it could reach for more external social history sources, but is clear and to the point. Would pair well with Gay New York and The Straight State
