In this brilliant, groundbreaking biography, twenty years in the
making, James H. Jones presents a moving and even shocking portrait
of the man who pierced the veil of reticence surrounding human
sexuality. Jones shows that the public image Alfred Kinsey
cultivated of disinterested biologist was in fact a carefully
crafted public persona. By any measure he was an extraordinary man
and a man with secrets. Drawing upon never before disclosed facts
about Kinsey's childhood, Jones traces the roots of Kinsey's
scholarly interest in human sexuality to his tortured upbringing.
Between the sexual tensions of the culture and Kinsey's devoutly
religious family, Jones depicts Kinsey emerging from childhood with
psychological trauma but determined to rescue humanity from the
emotional and sexual repression he had suffered. New facts about
his marriage, family life, and relationships with students and
colleagues enrich this portrait of the complicated, troubled man
who transformed the state of public discourse on human sexuality."
