Queen and country examines the complex intersection between
same-sex desire and the British Armed Forces during the Second
World War. It illuminates how men and women lived, loved and
survived in an institution which, at least publicly, was
unequivocally hostile towards same-sex activity within its ranks.
Queen and country also tells a story of selective remembrance and
the politics of memory, exploring specifically why same-sex desire
continues to be absent from the historical record of the war. In
examining this absence, and the more intimate minutiae of cohesion,
homosociability and desire, this study pushes far beyond
traditional military history in order to cast new light on one of
the most widely discussed conflicts of the twentieth century. -- .
