Abstract: The transformation of West German society in the "long" 1950s led to changes in society’s understanding of masculinity. Men who were "different" – disabled war veterans, the homeless, homosexuals – were under pressure to conform. This book tells the stories of men who were "flawed," expounds on the "crisis of masculinity," and illuminates the forces that promoted and inhibited greater life-style diversity.
