Description
A powerful story of sexual awakening during the Second World War, My Queer War tells the story of a young man's exposure to the terrors and horrors of armed conflict. In 1942, at just 21 years old, James Lord enlisted in the U.S. Army, embarking on a journey that would take him to various parts of Europe. As he navigates the challenges of war, Lord comes to terms with his own sexuality and experiences the thrill of first love, while also confronting the disillusionment with humanity that can come from witnessing such atrocities. Along the way, he meets the world's most renowned artist, who introduces him to a new life. This is a rich and moving record of one man's maturation in the crucible of war, a story of universal significance and appeal told by a wry and eloquent observer of the world and himself.
