Unfriendly Fire: How the Gay Ban Undermines the Military and Weakens America

Frank’s compelling book is a primer on the history and impact of the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy on our military. He documents how this policy came into being as a result of President Clinton’s early commitment to overturn the ban on gays and lesbians in the military. He details how this policy has negatively impacted the military, dispels the myths justifying the policy, and explains why this ill advised policy should be struck down. This exceptionally researched, relevant book puts a human face on the issue and is particularly timely in light of President Obama’s commitment to revisit the policy.
