IKE’S MYSTERY MAN “Ike’s Mystery Man is an important, deeply researched contribution to the history of one of the sorrier episodes in American history — a time when, during the height of the McCarthy era, thousands of government workers were driven from their jobs or barred from ever getting one because they were gay . . . This is a book that deserves, and is sure to get, a wide audience.” — Michael Isikoff, co-author of Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump |
