Reviews
Paul has been my friend for over forty years. He is a brilliant and honest individual who suffered demoralising and unnecessary anguish. This book more than puts the record straight. Read it and get very angry! Sir Elton John; An important and ultimately inspiring book that forces us to imagine how we might have responded in the face of such a nightmare. Stephen Fry; Paul Gambaccini was tested almost beyond endurance by false allegations, and his account exposes the cruelty that is inflicted when the legal system is captured by populist sentiment. His account is a timely reminder that past wrongs are not made right by creating witch hunts. Helena Kennedy QC
'A good man caught in a terrifying labyrinth of injustice, cruelty and barbaric institutional indifference. A Kafkaesque fiction, surely? A surreal satire? No, cold and appalling fact. Paul Gambaccini's story reads like a page-turning thriller. An important and ultimately inspiring book that forces us to imagine how we might have responded in the face of such a nightmare.' Stephen Fry
