Book Review:
What do you do if you’re gay, closeted, and a vital part of a homophobic president’s inner circle? Journalist Peter Shinkle seeks to answer this question with his book Ike’s Mystery Man: The Secret Lives of Robert Cutler. Shinkle spent twelve years pulling together a book on his great-uncle Robert “Bobby” Cutler’s. Using Cutler’s personal diary as a pivotal reference, a dairy which described his obsessive love affair with another man, Ike’s Mystery Man digs deep into US post-World War II history and how our government dealt with the LGBTQ community at that time.
