Since you previously requested a free e-book from the University of Chicago 
Press, we thought you'd like to know about the June free e-book selection.  (If 
you prefer not to hear about future e-books from Chicago, you may unsubscribe 
below.)

You know about the Red Scare, of course. Historian David K. Johnson relates the 
frightening, untold story of the Lavender Scare: how, from WW2 to the early 
1960s, homosexuals were considered as dangerous a threat to national security as 
Communists, and were purged from the government. It's a story of political 
repression as well as of the origins of the gay rights movement.

Get your free e-book edition of The Lavender Scare: The Cold War Persecution of 
Gays and Lesbians in the Federal Government during the month of June.
