In Coming Out Under Fire, Allan Berube examines in depth and detail these social and political confrontation--not as a story of how the military victimized homosexuals, but as a story of how a dynamic power relationship developed between gay citizens and their government, transforming them both. Drawing on GIs' wartime letters, extensive interviews with gay veterans, and declassified military documents, Berube thoughtfully constructs a startling history of the two wars gay military men and women fough--one for America and another as homosexuals within the military. Berube's book, the inspiration for the 1995 Peabody Award-winning documentary film of the same name, has become a classic since it was published in 1990, just three years prior to the controversial "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which has continued to serve as an uneasy compromise between gays and the military. With a new foreword by historians John D'Emilio and Estelle B. Freedman, this book remains a valuable contribution to the history of World War II, as well as to the ongoing debate regarding the role of gays in the U.S. military. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xParticipation, Gay 606 $aGay military personnel$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aGay people$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xHistory$yWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xParticipation, Gay. 615 0$aGay military personnel$xHistory 615 0$aGay people$xHistory 676 $a355.008664 700 $aBe?rube?$b Allan$01520415 701 $aD'Emilio$b John$01520416 701 $aFreedman$b Estelle B.$f1947-$0890653 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785336703321 996 $aComing out under fire$93758979 997 $aUNINA
