Ranging from the brothels of 1950s Washington, D.C., to the activism of the 1980s and beyond, Kramer offers an elaborate phantasmagoria of bigoted conspiracists in the halls of power and ordinary individuals suffering their consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith wit and bite, Kramer explores (among other things) the sex lives of every recent president; the complicated behaviour of America's two greatest spies, J.

Together they track a terrible plague that intensifies as the government ignores it and depict the bold and imaginative activists who set out to shock the nation's conscience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Kramer's telling, the United States is dedicated to the proposition that very few men are created equal, and those who love other men may be destined for death.
