AUTHOR

Shilts, Randy

SUMMARY

The definitive book on lesbians and gay men in the US military. Randy Shilts, author of the classic documentary history of the AIDS epidemic "And The Band Played On," was acclaimed for his ability to take epic histories and molding them into gripping, intimate narratives. "Conduct Unbecoming," his groundbreaking exploration of lesbians and gays in the military, came out of hundreds of interviews conducted with servicepeople at all levels of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps and intense research uncovering thousands of documents resulting in a unique history of gays in the military as well as the persecution of gays in the military. "Conduct Unbecoming" will leave readers moved and imbued with a better understanding of the pressing situation in our nation' s military. "A sober, thoroughly researched and engrossingly readable history on the subject. [Shilts's] chronicle is excellent military history, closely woven with an enthralling analysis of the changing definitions of sexuality and personal relationships in American society....[A] landmark book....Remarkable." --"New York Times Book Review" "" " A masterpiece of investigative reporting... Shilts has shown us the honor homosexuals have brought, and continue to bring, to the uniforms they wear and the country they serve." - "Boston Globe" " Gays, we are told, would damage morale in the military. Shilts documents the fact that morale has already been eaten away by hypocrisy, contradictions, and favoritism... This book will be to gay and lesbian liberation what Betty Friedan' s was to early feminism or Rachel Carson' s to ecologicalconsciousness. No fair-minded person can read Conduct Unbecoming and consider the present system defensible. - "USA Today" "" " Gripping reading....the history of homosexual people and the movement for gay/lesbian equality in the United States can nowhere be more clearly told." - "Los Angeles Times"Shilts, Randy is the author of 'Conduct Unbecoming Gays and Lesbians in the U.S. Military', published 2005 under ISBN 9780312342647 and ISBN 0312342640.
