Secrets and Lies
In her own words, the life of the beautiful young model and dancer who helped to bring down the Tory government of Harold Macmillan - the 'Profumo Affair' remains the greatest political sex scandal in recent British history. Following Christine Keeler's death in December 2017, it is now possible to update her book to include revelations that she did not wish to be published in her lifetime. The result is a revised and updated book containing material that has never been officially released, which really does lift the lid on just how far the Establishment will go to protect its own. Published to coincide with the BBC's major new six-part TV drama series, The Trial of Christine Keeler, starring Sophie Cookson as Keeler and James Norton as Stephen Ward
The Scandal of Christine Keeler and John Profumo
The Profumo Affair remains the biggest scandal ever to hit British politics. At the height of the Cold War, the Minister of War was having an affair with a call girl who had associations with a Russian Naval Officer. Lord Denning examines the circumstances leading to the resignation of John Profumo - questions of cover-up, lies told to Parliament, bribery, stories sold to the newspapers - and describes with fascinated revulsion the extraordinary sexual behaviour of the ruling classes.

The Truth at Last
In 1961, a beautiful 19-year-old girl had a short affair with the Minister for War, John Profumo. Within two years, this led to the downfall of Harold Macmillans government, as she had also been having an affair with a Russian diplomat, and Profumo had lied to Parliament. But the social impact was greater than any political legacy: sex was now on everyones lips, and the press had discovered that it could, and would, expose the private lives of public figures. This is the lifes journey of a woman whom history has refused to let go, of her enormous personal sacrifices, and of her unstinting resolve.

Stephen Ward Was Innocent, OK
In the summer of '61 John Profumo, Minister for War, enjoyed a brief affair with Christine Keeler... Late in the afternoon of Wednesday 31 July 1963, Dr Stephen Ward was convicted at the Old Bailey on two counts alleging that he lived on the earnings of a prostitute. He was not in the dock but comatose in hospital. The previous night he had attempted suicide, because (as he said in a note) 'after Marshall's [the judge's] summing up, I've given up all hope'. He died on Saturday 3 August, without regaining consciousness. Many observers of the proceedings thought the convictions did not reflect the evidence and that the trial was unfair, and this book will show that it breached basic standards of justice. Geoffrey Robertson brings his forensic skills and a deeply felt sense of injustice to the case at the heart of the Profumo affair, the notorious scandal that brought down a government.
A Little White Death

England in 1963 is a country set to explode. The old guard, shocked by the habits of the war baby youth, sets out to fight back. The battle reaches uncomfortably close to Troy. While he is on medical leave, the Yard brings charges against an acquaintance of his, a hedonistic doctor with a penchant for voyeurism and young women, two of which just happen to be sle...
