Allan Berube chronicles the story of the thousands of gay men and lesbian women who were among those proudly serving their country during the World War II years. Coming Out Under Fire is an invaluable contribution not only to gay history, but also to an aspect of our military history that is often ignored yet still affects thousands of GIs and veterans.

Reviews
Berube uses documents and interviews with gay veterans to explain how the military purged servicemen and -women on the basis of homosexuality during WW II and how these policies were publicly challenged later by military psychiatrists. "This evenhanded study brings into sharp focus an important chapter in American social history," said PW .
