JONATHAN BOYD HUNT - Trial By Conspiracy. The Lies, Cover-Ups and Injustices Behind the Neil Hamilton Affair.

New Zealand, GreeNZone, 1998. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Near Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0473051230 Hardback Starting in May 1997 the author, a freelance TV reporter, embarked on an investigation into the "cash for questions" affair, entirely on his own initiative. Why? Because Hunt, motivated by an inbred sense of justice and fairplay, had doubts about whether Neil Hamilton really was guilty of receiving illicit payments in brown envelopes from Mohammed Fayed, billionaire boss of Harrods. In the course of his enquiry, Hunt was beset by trauma: he made enemies, had rows with the media in public, slid inexorably into debt, and received more than one veiled threat. Nobody wanted to know - nobody that is except the Hamiltons and a handful of other seekers-after-truth. The results of 12 months dedicated and unpaid digging are to be found in this book. Illustrated with B/W photos.
