  "A GROUND-BREAKING ANTHOLOGY!"—Publishers Weekly
  "Required reading.
  .
  .
  . Every so often a book
  is published
  which
  permanently
  alters
  the way
  its
  readers
  look
  at
  the
  world. HIDDEN FROM HISTORY is such a book. ... Of-
  fers more
  to ponder, argue over and meditate on than any
  book on homosexual history yet published."
  —Outweek
  "If education means
  the
  liquidation of ignorance, then
  this
  book can educate a lot of readers.
  It is already educating me."
  —Eric Bentley
  "A success and a grand accomplishment!"
