Warfare & defence

paperback. Explains how the American military's anti-gay policy is fundamentally misdescribed by its common nickname, 'Don't Ask/Don't Tell.'

It is suitable for legal scholars, policymakers, activists, and military historians. Series: Public Planet Books. Num Pages: 176 pages. BIC Classification: 1KBB; JFSK2; JWT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 230 x 154 x 13. Weight in Grams: 218.
