“[The story] of how one man’s resolve gave courage to others and how he turned his public outing into an important surge of activism”—Kirkus
"[Soldier of Change] is an important story to read if you need to know where LGBT rights have been and who brought them forward. It’s also one to enjoy if you want an informal, easy-to-like memoir. Even in this post-DADT time, Soldier of Change is a book to call for."—Terri Schlichenmeyer, Washington Blade
“Read [Snyder-Hill’s] story and know the price paid for intolerance and the limitless joy of triumph.”—Harvey Fierstein, Tony Award–winning actor and playwright
“A moving and insightful epitaph to a destructive policy.”—Publishers Weekly
