The Queen is Dead : A Story of Jarheads, Eggheads, Serial Killers and Bad Sex

4 reviews
Mark Simpson, Steven Zeeland

Arcadia Books, 2001

HILARIOUS & GRIPPING
Hilarious and gripping This book is just superb. Two gay dissidents with a shared lust for marines open a transatlantic correspondence revealing marvellous, trivial and disturbing details of their lives. London lad Simpson, best known for his book Anti-Gay, is his usual witty, perceptive self and finds in Seattle based Zeeland not just a soul-mate but an effective foil for his dry commentary. ...

A revealing study of Homosexuality Vs. The Marine Corps.
Military homophobia has always been somewhat of a paradox. Sex between soldiers is officially strictly forbidden, unofficially tolerated (as long as it does not become public knowledge and the 'offenders' retain their official heterosexual identity), and unconsciously encouraged, by forcing men to live together in close quarters without any substantial privacy, by limiting their access to female ...

Military Trade

Routledge, 1999

For some guys military men are a vocation.
I'm one of the chapters in Zeeland's book. He told the truth, and did so in a clear informative manner. In telling my story, and those of men with similar tastes, Steven earned my respect.

The Heroes of Asgard

Part of the English Literature Series
Evidently when they wrote the Edda (12thC Norse poem collection) (13thC Norse poem collection compiled by Snorri Sturluson, Containing Norse myths, poems, and treatise on poetry) they were not aware of English. But there is no excuse for the later translations. If you want to know the gods and their story, but have no time to cut though exotic lengthy prose, then this is the book for you. The ...

Barrack Buddies and Soldier Lovers: Dialogues With Gay Young Men in the U.S. Military (Haworth Gay and ...

Routledge, 1993

Revealing and eminently useful.
This book is a collection of transcribed conversations. Like the works to which it is most likely to be compared, Mary Ann Humphrey's "My Country, My Right to Serve" and Randy Shilts's "Conduct Unbecoming," Zeeland provides ample biographical material. Yet the book's greatest worth is not in the narratives it contains of individual lives. It is the connections, relationships, and social ...

Sailors and Sexual Identity: Crossing the Line Between "Straight" and "Gay" in the U.S. Navy (Haworth Gay & ...

The truths nobody wants to admit.
Zeeland's book is an honest account of the sexual frustrations and sexual activities that have always been a part of shipboard life. Many men are attracted to the overt masculinity of life in uniform in a largely all-male environment. "Sailors" is a gut-level view of the men who proudly serve their country, but also have natural sexual needs that they must address. This is the most honest ...

Eastern Troops in Zeeland, the Netherlands, 1943-1945
J. N. Houterman

Axis Europa Books, 1997

This classic on the history of Eastern volunteer battalions stationed in the Low countries from 1943 to 1945 has just been produced in Hard Cover (case bound) edition. The history of these numerous battalions is told with great alacrity by Dr. Houterman, an academic with ties to the region. Dr. Houterman describes the history of these units and their men in seamless fashion - much like an expert weaver fashions a quilt from raw materials. His ...
