The volume takes a field which has become established over the past
40 years, and applies it to a marginalized sector of society,
enabling students of oral history, and history more generally to
engage with, question and develop new conversations around the
field. Oral history is increasingly becoming an established part of
the modern history canon and more and more developments within its
parameters are being raised and studied - this book represents a
key up-coming area. The only book to look specifically at LGBTQ
positions and the specific issues it raises within oral history.

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. -- .
