Against the Law by Peter Wildeblood

"Against the Law" by Peter Wildeblood is a candid chronicle of what it meant to be a homosexual in 1950s Britain, as seen through the eyes of one of the central figures in the Montagu Case. Wildeblood's riveting account tells of his childhood, war service, imprisonment, and return to freedom, captivating readers with its honest and restrained narrative. It is a harrowing yet informative testament to the repression homosexuals faced in Britain only a generation ago.
