Stonewall: The Riots That Sparked the Gay Revolution
New York: St Martins Griffin, 2010. pp. 336."In 1969, a series of riots over police action against The Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York City’s Greenwich Village, changed the longtime landscape of the homosexual in society literally overnight. Since then the event itself has become the stuff of legend, with relatively little hard information available on the riots themselves. Now, based on hundreds of interviews, an exhaustive search of public and previously sealed files, and over a decade of intensive research into the history and the topic, Stonewall brings this singular event to vivid life in this, the definitive story of one of history’s most singular events. ". First Edition. Softcover. Very Good/Paperback. 8vo.
