Summers has made a career of biographies of well known figures including President John. F. Kennedy. Summers examines that assassination in his book "Not In Your Lifetime". In both books he sees a careful conspiracy at work. That may or may not be true but the writing is well done and the story will draw you in.

There are two things you need to keep in mind about this book. As noted above the books involves an inclination toward conspiracy. That's not to say there wasn't but it leaves the authors filling in a lot of blanks. As is common some of that filler is solid and some of it is very thin. Approach with caution. The second item is that the book spends a lot of time talking about sex. It's never particularly graphic but the reality is that the "Profumo Affair" centers on a Profumo affair. Ward was deeply involved with the sexual hijinks of a great many people.

"The Secret Worlds of Stephen Ward" takes us back to the height of the Cold War to examine a pivotal event that has faded from many memories. The authors carefully craft a story that would be the envy of any spy novelist. Sex, Power and Betrayal. A man will die, a career will end and a government will fall. Summers and Dorril introduce us to the man at the center of it all that history forgot.
