Tinderbox: The Untold Story of the Up Stairs Lounge Fire and the Rise of Gay Liberation by Robert W. Fieseler

4.0

This book started out strong detailing the lives of the individuals involved in this tragedy. Pretty quickly it goes into the fire and it is heartbreaking to read. I really loved the first part of the book where I was able to learn about Gay life in the south through the various people involved. The second half of the book started to wander between storylines and was somewhat hard to follow making it feel disjointed.
