Dust jacket has some bumping and creasing to edges, and a few short tears repaired with tape to reverse. Else fine. Stephen Ward was a central figure in the political scandal which shook Britain in the 1960s. It was in Ward's flat that John Profumo, Secretary of State for War in the Macmillan Government, used to meet call girl Christine Keeler. It was Ward who introduced Christine to the dashing Soviet diplomat, Yevgeny Ivanov. It was Ward who told MI5 about Keeler and Profumo because he thought that their affair might pose a security risk. When Profumo lied to the House of Commons about his love life, and the resulting scandal threatened to bring down the Government, it was Ward who stood in the dock at the Old Bailey, scapegoat for the establishment. His trial turned out to be one of the most amazing in British legal history.

Boston: G.K. Hall & Co, 1985. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Soft cover. xiii, 412 pp., [8] p. B&W photos. Slight sunning and a few creases and scuffs to spine. Scuff to top edge of text block. Near fine overall. Ida Tarbell (1857-1944) was arguably the most admired woman in America in the early twentieth century. Her History of the Standard Oil Company set the standards for virtually all investigative reporting thereafter, and her best-selling biography of Abraham Lincoln shaped a public image of him that is still current. All in the Day's Work is both her autobiography and a fascinating record of her times, from pioneer lifestyles on the oil frontier in Pennsylvania to her days as a freelance journalist in Paris to her success as an editor and reporter in New York.
