- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2015Amazing read, well documented and written. Would recommend.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 January 2022Peter Scott-Presland, tell us in his preface that he is ‘not an historian’. In fact the author of Amiable Warriors is a dramatist and that is no bad thing as he demonstrates an absolute flare for bringing to exhilarating life a subject that, in the wrong hands, could have been an encyclopedia of events and participants. The book is bursting with fascinating testimonies, oral and written, from people who were a part of CHE. It is of huge importance that the author has captured so much personal testimony as, with time passing as it does, these accounts might otherwise be lost forever. Despite ‘not being an historian’ Scott-Presland gives a meticulously detailed account of the way in which, despite immense obstacles, the criminalised (in the case of gay men) and marginalised built a movement that gradually helped to provide LGBT people with a voice and a platform. It is to the author’s credit that the history is not drenched in Queer, or any other, theory, making it an engaging read as well as a goldmine for academics and researchers. I bought the book for some research of my own, intending to dip into it, but I found myself reading the whole thing from cover to cover. So, it turns out that Scott-Presland is an historian after all and a very engaging one.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 October 2015Amiable Warriors: for me, a woman who came to terms with her homosexuality at the age of fifty, Amiable Warriors has provided a welcome draught of information. In my former ignorance of all matters homosexual there was a thirst for background knowledge about the world of my new friends. Amiable Warriors has brought me up to date with the early years of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality. I look forward to the next volume.
