The Trial of Stephen Ward

'My original intention in writing this book was, as I put it at the time, "to make a permanent record of the last public act of the Profumo affair before the curtain comes down for the last time". If on occasions the book is now rather more vehement than I had intended, that is because I had not bargained on seeing justice miscarry before my eyes.' Taken from Ludovic Kennedy's preface.
