One of the most important works of American history in the 20th Century,

This review is from: Conduct Unbecoming: Gays and Lesbians in the U.S. Military (Paperback)
Author Shilts has written the seminal work on gays and lesbians in the military. Should not be missed by those interested in American history. I read this book at a time in my life when I was incredibly lonely and sad about my station in life, and, though not gay, I was filled with hope and the promise of a better day by Randy Shilts work.
I can't recommend this book highly enough. One of the great books on American history.

This review is from: Conduct Unbecoming: Gays and Lesbians in the U.S. Military (Paperback)
Shilts uses his investigative journalism background to craft a compelling argument for the free service of all of those who volunteer to serve. He gives a window into the feelings and motivations of gays in the military and those who serve with them. The progression of the events and documentation of changes in attitude seem to lead toward a future where gays can serve openly. I found the parallels drawn between the situation of gay soldiers now and the situation of black soldiers before the 1950's to be especially convincing.
