Items related to Wilde's Last Stand
In January 1918 the Imperialist newspaper made the startling claim that Britain was losing the war because the German secret service was blackmailing 47,000 sexual deviants in the British establishment. This account reveals how the ensuing libel trial drew Oscar Wildes friends into a posthumous battle for his reputation, and illuminates a twilight world of MPs and dancing girls, drug clubs in London and transvestites in the trenches.

Hoare has identified one of the key moments in the formation of the modern world, and he has documented it with dazzling brilliance -- Simon Callow * The Sunday Times * A shocking tale of heroes and villains. Illuminating and upsetting in equal measure. -- Sir Ian McKellen A thrashing good read * Indepenent on Sunday * Hoare's lively book [is] a valuable addition to the alternative history of our century -- Peter Parker * Observer *
