Inhalt
In this history of wartime Britain, the author unearths the stories of the gay men who served in the armed forces and at home, and brings to light the contribution they made to the war effort. The book weaves together the lives of these men, from RAF hero Ian Gleed - a Flying Ace - to the infantry officers serving in the trenches on the Western Front in WWI - many of whom led the charges into machine-gun fire only to find themselves court-marshalled after the war for indecent behavior. Behind the lines, Alan Turing's work on breaking the enigma machine and subsequent persecution contrasts with the many stories of love and courage in Blitzed-out London, with wartime diaries and letters unearthed. Bourne tells the story of Noel Coward - who was hated by Hitler for entertaining the troops.
