In this book the author examines attitudes to sexuality in Britain with a special emphasis on the prudery, fear and hatred of deviance that underly those attitudes. He describes the self-hatred that often leads to persecution of homosexuals and sufferers of venereal disease, including AIDS.

Richard Davenport-Hines won both the Wolfson and Wadhurst prizes for works of history for "Dudley Docker".
