Smoke Without Fire, The Swabey Case

From the dust jacket: "Malta. The night of March 23rd, 1956. Lt-Commander Christopher Swabey was arrested for indecently assaulting a sub-lieutenant. One court martial, two appeals, a petition to the Queen, three debates in the House of Lords, two appeals to the CourtsMartial Appeals Court and, seventeen years later, Swabey won and was award ed £45,000 compensation against the Ministry of Defence. His remarkable fight has made legal history." This copy is very good in blue cloth with silver titles on the spine. Ex-library with just a card pocket on the ffep and a couple of library stamps on the title and copyright pages. The binding it quite sound and the text is otherwise clean and unmarked. The unclipped DJ is very good, since it has been in a protective plastic cover. FO22.
