Reviews for Male Homosexuality in West Germany: Between Persecution and Freedom, 1945-69 (Genders and Sexualities in History)
"It is, as far as I can see, the first English-language monograph offering a comprehensive and source-based treatment of the post-war history of male same-sex desires in West Germany. It offers its readers numerous fruitful thoughts and inspiring insights into the history of homosexualities as well as German history." - Benno Gammerl, Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Germany
