Shame and Scandal '63
This map and guide provide an in-depth look at the notorious Profumo Affair, a scandal that rocked the British establishment in 1963. Discover how this explosive event brought together spies, high-ranking politicians, teenage "good-time girls," slumlords, and characters from London's underworld.
At the heart of the scandal was the illicit relationship between John Profumo, the Secretary of State for War, and Christine Keeler, a model with connections to a Soviet naval attaché. The affair led to Profumo's resignation, severely damaged Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's government, and played a significant role in the Conservative Party's loss in the 1964 general election.
