Behind the Mask of the Mattachine

About this book

"The Mattachine is the origin of the contemporary American gay movement. Behind the Mask of the Mattachine travels back to the times before Stonewall and its aftermath, to the beginnings of the modern homosexual movement and the lesser-known individuals who started it. This chronicle gives the unexpurgated history of the activists who organized homosexuals - using the biography of the controversial activist Hal Call as its springboard."--BOOK JACKET.
