Reviews
The volume's global reach is impressive. It covers some fifteen nations drawn from both the global north and the global south, and it brings together an unusual array of international scholars. As a result, it promises to fill a significant gap in the scholarship by showing that the role of gender and sexuality in shaping domestic and foreign policy was not limited to the US but extended globally"". - Robert Corber, author of Cold War Femme: Lesbianism, National Identity, and Hollywood Cinema
