Description

Maud Allan, the famous exotic dancer used to be destroyed by the infamous libel trial brought by charismatic British Member of Parliament. and pilot, Noel Pemberton-Billing.

In this wonderfully written book, Russell James charts her rise and fall from the days when she saved the 1908 London Olympics from failure to the outrageous miscarriage of justice of her trial which knocked the dark days of the First World War off the front pages of the national newspapers.

In his gripping narrative, Russell seamlessly moves from the days when Maud used to be courted by society to the end when her friends, excluding former PM’s wife, Margot Asquith, shunned her in case they, too, were labeled as sexual deviants. The trial used to be in keeping with the existence of the notorious (and fictional?). German black book and its list of 47,000 sexually depraved individuals who might be used by the Germans to defeat the British in War. Names included Herbert and Margot Asquith and the pass judgement on himself. Maud Allan did not stand a possibility.

A unbelievable read brought out in time for the 2008 Beijing Olympics in an effort to be having a look ahead to the next London Olympics, in four years’ time.
