Description

In 1969, a series of riots over police action against the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York City's Greenwich Village, changed the landscape of GLBT people in society literally overnight.  Since then, the event itself has become the stuff of legend, with relatively little hard information available on the riots themselves.  Now, based on hundreds of interviews, an exhaustive search of public and previously sealed files, and over a decade of intensive research into the history and the topic, David Carter's Stonewall brings this all-important event to vivid life in this definitive study of one of history's most singular events.


This edition of Stonewall is in trade paperback format, with 336 pages.  The book is autographed not only by the author but also by one of the bartenders who was at the Stonewall Inn the night of the riots.
