The blame for the controversial Profumo affair of 1963, which finished the career of the Minister of War John Profumo and brought down the government of Harold Macmillan, has always been laid firmly on the shoulders of osteopath Stephen Ward. This book uncovers new information which reveals that the man actually responsible was John Lewis - a former Labour MP, businessman and socialite and man of paranoic jealousy. Believing that Ward had an affair with his wife 11 years previously, Lewis vowed revenge and never ceased to plot Ward's downfall. In 1963 he got the chance.
