This expanded edition of David K. Johnson’s seminal historical study documents the systematic anti-homosexual purges within the United States federal government during the Cold War. Drawing on declassified FBI records and archival research, the text examines how the Lavender Scare functioned as a potent political weapon, paralleling the Red Scare in its intensity and impact on the lives of thousands of civil servants.
