Synopsis A major legal / historical review of the relationships between men of note and their homoaffectional and homoerotic secrets from 2500 BC to 1992. Adds to the sentinel writings of John Boswell and Robert Bly, but told with Hard-man's scholarly wry humor. A special section on the military also makes this volume especially cogent.

Industry Reviews Trenchant analysis of the roles of guilt and religious masochism very useful for examining the roots of homophobia. The long-avoided question of male bonding is given a sensible, nonjudgmental review. Press Materials - W. Dorr Legg
Hardman demonstrates that same sex affections and activities constitute societies and that lesbian, bisexual and gay studies lie at the center of human history. His survey of military love among men comes just in time. Press Materials - Charley Shively
