The result is a spectacularly fine-grained look at the interplay between sexual and revolutionary politics. —Publishers Weekly (starred) By investigating a topic once seen as taboo—homosexuality, particularly in the military—McCurdy has shed new light on an otherwise familiar period in American history. Vicious and Immoral is a book whose time has come, and one that adds greatly to our understanding of our nation, its onetime relationship with Mother England, and the more-inclusive values now shared on both sides of the Atlantic. —Washington Independent Review of Books Author InformationJohn Gilbert McCurdy (YPSILANTI, MI) is a professor of history at Eastern Michigan University.
