The Profumo Affair by Vanessa Holburn
A detailed account of the 1963 British political scandal in which a senior government minister’s affair with a young model, her links to a Soviet naval attaché and a prominent society osteopath, and the ensuing police inquiries and sensational trial produced a media frenzy and contributed to the collapse of a Conservative administration; the narrative reconstructs the tangled personal relationships, courtroom drama and investigations while probing wider themes of class, sex, power and Cold War paranoia that reshaped public life in Britain.
