Book Description: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, U.K., 1955. Hard Cover. Book Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good Plus Plus. Second Impression. 189 pages, size 8.75 inches tall by 5.5 inches. ' In March 1954 Peter Wildeblood was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment for homosexual offences. The case in which he was involved-the ' Montagu Case '-was the subject of considerable controversy and was largely responsible for the Government's decision to set up a Committee to enquire into the whole question of homosexuality and the laws relating to it. Peter Wildeblood has now made a unique contribution to the discussion of this problem-for this is a first hand account of what it means to be a homosexual and one of the central figures in a cause celebre. A skilled journalist, who at the time of his conviction was Diplomatic Correspondent of the Daily Mail, he has applied these talents to a report on his own life-the circumstances leading to his arrest, the behaviour of the police, the trial, his imprisonment in Wormwood Scrubs, and his return to the world. He writes about his own problems with candour and detachment, and about those of other people-including his fellow prisoners-with real feeling. The result is not a comfortable book : but it does throw a much-needed light on a problem, which, directly or indirectly, concerns every one of us. Above all, Peter Wildeblood is completely free from either hypocrisy or self-pity ; whatever their views upon his central thesis, readers cannot fail to be impressed by his courage and passionate sincerity .' Book - in Very Good blue boards with gilt lettering - light bumping to the ends of the spine. Contents, previous owner's stamp to the free front endpaper, light browning to the pastedowns and free endpapers and light spotting to the page edges, otherwise clean and tightly bound. Dust Jacket - Good Plus Plus - small tears and small amounts of loss to the ends of the spine, edges and corners, repairs and strengthening to verso, some browning and marking. Email For Scan.
