Review: Wonderful but upsetting read - This is a really important book that highlights the devastation that took place to the gay community in America and gives the sense of how quickly it took hold and how out of step the medical and political establishment were. However due to the nature of the subject matter and how personally involved the author was, it is a distressing read but one I think most people should make the effort to engage with before this just becomes another facet of history
Review: Important, emotional and powerful work. - David France has produced an incredible piece of work here. Social, scientific and political history are beautifully combined with personal memories to form an emotionally charged and powerful book .
