520			_aThis is the definitive analysis of the homophile movement in the U.S. from 1940 to 1970. It does much more than that, however, in providing thorough documentation of the oppression of homosexuals during those years and biographical sketches of the lesbian and gay heroes who helped the contemporary gay culture to emerge. The book impresses me as magnificently researched and very well written.... It should be studied by all those interested in social movements and in lesbian and gay cause.-Laud Humphreys
