Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition. Rinkagate: Rise and Fall of Jeremy Thorpe First Edition couple of pages creased.At 2:34pm on tiny closed tear to edge of d/jFriday 22 June 1979, the jurors in what had been billed as "The Trial of the Century" filed into Number One Court at the Old Bailey to deliver the verdict on the Rt Hon Jeremy Thorpe, Privy Counsellor, the former MP for North Devon and ex-leader of the Liberal Party. For 30 days, the nine men and three women of the jury had listened, opened-mouthed, like the rest of the country and many millions abroad, as prosecution lawyers tried to prove that Thorpe and three other men had recruited an airline pilot called Andrew Newton to kill Norman Scott, a former male model who claimed that he had once been Thorpe's lover. It had been an extraordinary trial. The star witnesses were Scott, Peter Bessell, a former Liberal MP and failed businessman who had once been Thorpe's confidant, and Newton, who had shot Scott's dog, a Great Dane bitch called Rinka, but failed to murder Scott as ordered. Mr Justice Cantley, the judge, was not impressd with these witnesses and made it clear that, if there was any justice, they should have been in the dock. He was rather more charitable to Thorpe, whom he suggested should have been leading the nation rather than enduring the inconvenience of a trial, and to David Holmes, Thorpe's homosexual friend from his days at Oxford. Cantley indicated to the jury that, perhaps, Holmes and the others had tried to frighten Scott but said there was no proof that Thorpe was even involved in that limited conspiracy. After 52 hours' discussion they returned a unanimous verdict of not guilty. This work seeks to tell the true story of how Norman Scott, a penniless neurotic who loved animals more than people, destroyed Jeremy Thrope, the charismatic and wise-cracking leader of the Liberal Party who was a secret homosexual. It is a scandal of post-war British politics but above all, it is about the revenge of Scott on Thorpe, the man whom he could not forgive for abandoning him. Set against the backdrop of Westminster, the West Country, the Caribbean and California, this is the story of a cover-up and the drama of idealism and cynicism in the media, of political chicanery, and of police obstruction. It is based on almost 100 interviews and contains collaboration with Barrie Penrose, who was one half of the "Pencourt" team who investigated the story in the 1970s.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xxiii, [1], 616 pages. Illustrations. References. Glossary of Names and Terms, Bibliography. Index. Erasure on front endpaper. Anthony Blunt was the successor to Kenneth Clark as Surveyor of the Queen' s Pictures, but he secretly was a core member of a conspiracy to recruit agents for the Communists. He was exposed in Parliament by Prime Minister Thatcher in 1979. Anthony Frederick Blunt (26 September 1907 26 March 1983), (styled Sir Anthony Blunt KCVO from 1956 until November 1979), was a leading British art historian and a Soviet spy. Blunt was a professor of art history at the University of London, the director of the Courtauld Institute of Art and Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures. His 1967 monograph on the French Baroque painter Nicolas Poussin is still widely regarded as a watershed book in art history. He was the "fourth man" of the Cambridge Five, a group of spies who worked for the Soviets between the 1930s and the 1950s. Barrie Penrose (26 January 1942 5 July 2020) was a British investigative journalist and interviewer. He worked for the New York Herald Tribune in Paris, The Observer, The Sunday Times and BBC Television. In December 1979, John Cairncross who had secretly admitted to an MI6 interrogator that he had spied for the Soviets was approached by Penrose and made a full confession to the journalist. The news was widely publicized, leading many to believe that Cairncross was the so-called "fifth man" of the Cambridge Five spy ring. This designation would be confirmed in 1989 by KGB agent Oleg Gordievsky, who defected to Britain. Before Prime Minister Thatcher exposed him in 1979, Sir Anthony Blunt had been a world-class art historian. He was also a core member of the Cambridge Conspiracy, an intelligence operation whose purpose was to recruit young idealists in elite British universities to become covert agents of espionage.
