Description: Vicious and Immoral is the first book to place homosexuality in conversation with the American Revolution, and it dares us to rethink the place of LGBTQ people in the founding of the nation.
Brief description: John Gilbert McCurdy (YPSILANTI, MI) is a professor of history at Eastern Michigan University. He is the author of Citizen Bachelors: Manhood and the Creation of the United States and Quarters: The Accommodation of the British Army and the Coming of the American Revolution.
Review Quotes: McCurdy's accessible narrative is steeped in interpersonal strife and courtroom drama. The result is a spectacularly fine-grained look at the interplay between sexual and revolutionary politics.
