Review:
Journalists Chris Bull and John Gallagher argue in their new book, Perfect Enemies, that the national social politics of the 1990s are being increasingly defined by the conflict between the conservative religious right and the gay rights movement. This challenging thesis examines in meticulous detail the legal battles the Christian Coalition has waged against gay rights laws across the country. The authors' analysis of the gays-in-the-military fight is on target as they dissect the mistakes made by both gay leadership and the Federal government. Endlessly provocative and highly charged, Bull and Gallagher convincingly hammer home their point that the fight about gay rights effects everyone, not just the gay community.
From the Back Cover:
"A fascinating and remarkably balanced study of one of the culture wars' most actively contested fronts."
--Kirkus Reviews
"A brave, provocative, and path-finding work. Finally, some objective and sharp insight into the gays-in-the-military battle, as well as brilliant analysis and documentation of many of the most critical battles on 'special rights,' gay marriage, and more. Fresh, exciting, savvy, readable-a great book! This is compelling, even gripping, reading."
