Secrets and Lies by Christine Keeler

Christine Keeler's name is as synonymous with the Sixties sexual revolution as the Pill. Having found fame and success as a model - the portrait of her naked astride a chair is iconic - her short affair with the minister for war, John Profumo, led to his downfall at the end of Harold Macmillan's Conservative government, and was at the heart of the social and political earthquake that followed. She became the subject of scandal, intrigue and gossip and was tried for perjury and briefly jailed following the death of Stephen Ward, the socialite who had introduced her to Profumo. Now that those directly involved are no longer alive, Christine is finally able to tell the full story of that extraordinary time.
Douglas Thompson is the acclaimed author of more than 20 books, including Clint Eastwood: Billion Dollar Man. A biographer, broadcaster, and international journalist, he is a regular contributor to major newspapers and magazines worldwide. Douglas divides his time between England and California.
