Product Description
The definitive book on the contentious issue of lesbians and gays in the military Conduct Unbecoming is a unique exploration of gays in the military and gay persecution in the military. As he did in And the Band Played On, his documentary history of the AIDS epidemic, Randy Shilts takes issues and histories with an epic scope and renders them into readable, understandable narratives. For Conduct Unbecoming, Shilts spoke with hundreds of lesbians and gays in all levels of the military and pored over thousands of documents in order to tell their stories of pain and pride. With critical attention to detail and profound depth of feeling, Conduct Unbecoming will leave readers moved and educated with a better understanding of this pressing situation in our nation's military.
