From the rear cover
'From Quentin Crisp cavorting with US marines in 'The Naked Civil Servant' to Jean Genet, Fassbinder and 'Querelle', a celebration of sailors has long been a part of gay culture. But very rarely has it been the subject of serious study. Here at last is the book that puts all that to rights. Thoroughly-researched and engagingly written, 'Hello Sailor' looks beyond the butch, bell-bottomed image and explores the real meaning of gay life for sea-faring men.' Paul Burston, TimeOut
"Innovative, revealing and brave, this book peers through previously forbidden portholes and unravels a neglected strand of British history. It tells many fascinating stories of lives lived against the odds " Andy Medhurst, University of Sussex
" meticulously researched, cogently argued work of high scholarship producing an endlessly fascinating and finely nuanced examination of the culture and mores of homosexuality afloat This book is greatly to be commended." Dr Campbell McMurray OBE, Director, Royal Naval Museum
