The central theme here is the gay life of a very upper crust intellectual milieu that had a real impact on the major political upheavals that would shape the modern world forever after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eDistinguished Professor of History Emeritus, CUNY. \u003cb\u003eMARTIN DUBERMAN \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of some two dozen books, including \u003ci\u003ePaul Robeson\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eCures; Black Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e; the novel \u003ci\u003eHaymarket\u003c\/i\u003e (a Seven Stories book); \u003ci\u003eHoward Zinn\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eStonewall\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eHold Tight Gently\u003c\/i\u003e.
