“Excellent and richly documented. . . . Beachy’s work must [be]
considered in the larger context of a shift in cultural studies. .

Review
“Beachy enlarges our understanding of how the international
gay-rights movement eventually prospered, despite the setbacks that
it experienced not only in Nazi Germany but also in mid-century
America.” —The New Yorker
“A very good, serious, detailed, scholarly work of history by an
excellent researcher who has clearly done his homework—and then
some.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“A superb work of historical reclamation–by far the best account we
have of the formative years of homosexual identity and
emancipation, it is brilliantly researched and beautifully
written.” —Martin Duberman, Distinguished Professor of History
Emeritus, CUNY
