Because much of what Gerassi wrote about persists in today's struggles over gay and lesbian issues, his book still has much to tell us about how contemporary society reacts to, and misunderstands, homosexuality.\" - from the new Foreword by Peter Boag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword to the 2001 Paperback Edition \u003cbr\u003e Preface to the 2001 Paperback Edition\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to the original Edition\u003cbr\u003e Chronology\u003cbr\u003e Crush the Monster\u003cbr\u003e The Repairman and the Banker\u003cbr\u003e The Client\u003cbr\u003e The Boys\u003cbr\u003e From Whores to Adults\u003cbr\u003e High Eagle\u003cbr\u003e The Curtain Falls\u003cbr\u003e The First Day of Reckoning\u003cbr\u003e The homosexual and the Analyst\u003cbr\u003e The Gay World\u003cbr\u003e The murderer and the West Point Cadet\u003cbr\u003e Public Poverty and Private Power\u003cbr\u003e Mormons, Negros and Birchers\u003cbr\u003e The second day of reckoning\u003cbr\u003e “The Communist Plot”\u003cbr\u003e The Trial-Round One\u003cbr\u003e The Trial-Round Two\u003cbr\u003e The Trial-Round Three and Knockout!\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e Appendix A: Motion for Withholding Judgment\u003cbr\u003e Appendix B: Motion for New Trial\u003cbr\u003e Appendix C: Smith’s Affidavit\u003cbr\u003e Appendix D: Dr. Butler’s Affidavit\u003cbr\u003e Appendix E: The Prejudice of the Press\u003cbr\u003e Appendix F: The Uninspected Confession\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Washington Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49400911167831,"sku":"9780295981673","price":22.73,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780295981673.jpg?v=1730471923","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-boys-of-boise-9780295981673","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
