Richard Davenport-Hines on An English Affair: sex, class and power in the age of Profumo

Undoubtedly the biggest British political scandal of 20^th century, Richard sets it firmly in the context of life and attitudes of the late fifties and early sixties, putting flesh on the bones of all the participants! As a journalist and prize-winning author, Richard has written on British attitudes to sex and sexuality, an anthology of vice, and biographies of Proust, W H Auden and Lady Desbrough. His last book was Titanic Lives.
