Christine Keeler’s name is as synonymous with the sexual revolution as the Pill. ….

Having found fame and success as a model, Christine’s short affair with the minister for war, John Profumo, led to his downfall at the end of Harold Macmillan’s Conservative government, and was at the heart of the social and political earthquake that followed. She became the subject of scandal, intrigue and gossip and was tried for perjury and briefly jailed following the death of Stephen Ward, the socialite who had introduced her to Profumo.

This is a compulsive account of her enormous personal sacrifice, her unstinting resolve, and her triumphant survival. What Christine Keeler has finally found herself brave enough to tell, rewrites history. This is the life’s journey of a woman whom history had refused to let go, who can never escape being Christine Keeler. She is a headline forever..

Following Christine Keeler’s death in December 2017, her book has been updated to include revelations that she did not wish to be published in her lifetime. The result is an audiobook containing material that has never been officially released, which really does lift the lid on just how far the Establishment will go to protect its own.
