Out in force : sexual orientation and the military

Gregory M. Herek (Editor), Jared B. Jobe (Editor), Ralph M. Carney (Editor)

Leading social science scholars of sexual orientation and the military offer discussions about military organizations, human sexuality, and attitudes toward individuals and groups
