A POWERFUL STORY OF SEXUAL AWAKENING DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR
FROM THE NOTED MEMORIST AND CRITIC
In "My Queer War," James Lord tells the story of a young man's
exposure to the terrors, dislocations, and horrors of armed
conflict.
In 1942, a timid, inexperienced twenty-one-year-old Lord reports
to Atlantic City, New Jersey, to enlist in the U.S. Army. His
career in the armed forces takes him to Nevada, California, Boston,
England, and, eventually, France and Germany, where he witnesses
firsthand the ravages of total war on Europe's land and on its
people. Along the way he comes to terms with his own sexuality,
experiences the thrill of first love and the chill of
disillusionment with his fellow man, and in a moment of great
rashness makes the acquaintance of the world's most renowned
artist, who will show him the way to a new life.
"My Queer War "is a rich and moving record of one man's
maturation in the crucible of the greatest war the world has known.
If his war is queer, it is because each man's experience is strange
in its own way. His is a story of universal significance and
appeal, told by a wry and eloquent observer of the world and of
himself.
