About the Author

Antony Grey took a history degree at Cambridge, and then read for the Bar whilst working in journalism, public relations and industrial administration. One of the first active campaigners supporting the Wolfenden Report, he became Secretary of the Homosexual Law Reform Society and the Albany Trust in 1962 and spearheaded the public and parliamentary lobbying which led to the 1967 Sexual Offences Act. After the reform he continued as Director of the Albany Trust until 1977. Since then he has qualified as a counselor, and now combines work as a therapist with writing. He enjoys listening to music, reading, cooking and eating, and cultivating his garden and his friends.

By EricJ
Format:Hardcover
This is the classic account of the way the law criminalizing male homosexual acts in England and Wales was decisively changed in 1967. It was written by the Secretary of the Homosexual Law Reform Society - to which, says Harrison's 1951-70 volume of 'New Oxford History of England', "his rare combination of high-serious commitment, shrewd political effectiveness, and total lack of self-advertisement was precious indeed".
But the book is not just a dry legal and parliamentary account. It ranges far more widely over Grey's own life and activist career, before and after 1967, and is thus described in Harrison's bibliography as the most important of the studies of individual homosexuals too.
Commended, therefore, to anyone wanting to learn about the reality of gay men's life in the second half of the twentieth century as well as to social and legal historians and to gay people wanting to explore their community's own history.

Format:Paperback
The delivery was slightly longer than given by the despatcher; ten days rather than the 4/5 stated on the notice of despatch.

The book was in a somewhat less than the 'very good' condition advertised, being significantly yellowed across the top third of the pages.
However it was complete and quite legible throughout with the binding intact.

As I was very gratified to recieve this out of print book which proved useful to my research, I will on my second review raise my rating from three to four stars.
