{"product_id":"queen-and-country-emma-vickers-9781784991180","title":"Queen and Country: Same-Sex Desire in the British Armed Forces, 1939-45","description":"Queen and country examines the complex intersection between same-sex desire and the British Armed Forces during the Second World War. It illuminates how men and women lived, loved and survived in an institution which, at least publicly, was unequivocally hostile towards same-sex activity within its ranks. Queen and country also tells a story of selective remembrance and the politics of memory, exploring specifically why same-sex desire continues to be absent from the historical record of the war. In examining this absence, and the more intimate minutiae of cohesion, homosociability and desire, this study pushes far beyond traditional military history in order to cast new light on one of the most widely discussed conflicts of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emma Vickers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178499118X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784991180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Emma Vickers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938045755647,"sku":"9781784991180","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d45d623c-593a-430f-b1a2-fc1b11275579.jpg?v=1681433408","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/queen-and-country-emma-vickers-9781784991180","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
