Review # 2 was written on 2013-01-10 00:00:00 William Tew Years ago I saw this book in an independent bookshop and recognized it as high-quality. I never guessed it was be as good as it is. This book uses "gay" in the broadest sense. Apart from covering male history, it also goes into the even more hidden history of lesbians, trans people and hermaphrodites. As it's edited by an Australian, when it says "world history" it actually means a global history rather than a history from the US, England and perhaps Europe. It covers Western, Middle Eastern, Asian cultures and it has two chapters on indigenous cultures. The only reason I gave this book four stars instead of five is it's not well-written. This is because it's written by academics for a general audience, and it's rare for academics to be gifted writers. Specifically, it has some flaws like mentioning interesting details but not giving enough information about them to satisfy a reader. Put this aside however and you will learn more about hidden gay history than you will find in any other book. If you have any interested in gayworld, then this book is a one-of-a-kind and must-read.
