The Profumo Affair was the political scandal of the twentieth century. The Tory War Minister John Profumo had been sleeping with the teenage Christine Keeler while at the same time she had been sleeping with a Russian spy. The ensuing investigation revealed a secret world where titled men and prostitutes mixed of orgies and S&M parties. The revelations rocked the British establishment to its core and lead to the resignation of the Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. And seemingly at the centre of it all was one man Dr Stephen Ward. Stephen Ward was many things to many people. He was a successful osteopath to an establishment list of clients. He was a part-time artist who had drawn portraits of members of the Royal Family. To some he was a ''provider of popsies to rich people''; a man who knews lots of pretty girls of flexible morals. And finally when the scandal came crashing down on the government he was a scapegoat put on trial and ultimately hounded to his death. The Secret Worlds of Stephen Ward is the definitive investigation into the Profumo scandal and the life and mysterious death of the man at its heart. . Language: English
