Rezensionen
"Brian Lewis deserves considerable praise for making available much of the testimony presented to the Wolfenden Committee on male homosexuality in 1950s Britain. A treasure-trove of hitherto unpublished material - judiciously chosen, carefully edited, and richly contextualized - Wolfenden's Witnesses contributes enormously to our understanding of the complexities of the queer 'fifties." - Chris Waters, Hans W. Gatzke '38 Professor of Modern European History, Williams College, USA
