'A brave and necessary book' GUARDIAN 'Shocking, gripping and
sobering' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH No other society sends its young boys
and girls away to school to prepare them for a role in the ruling
class. Beating, bullying, fagging, cold baths, vile food and
paedophile teachers are just some of the features of this elite
education, and, while some children loved boarding school, others
now admit to suffering life-altering psychological damage. Stiff
Upper Lip exposes the hypocrisy, cronyism and conspiracy that are
key to understanding the scandals over abuse and neglect in
institutions all over the world. Award-winning investigative
journalist Alex Renton went to three traditional boarding schools.
Drawing on those experiences, and the vivid testimony of hundreds
of former pupils, he has put together a compelling history,
important to anyone wondering what shaped the people who run
Britain in the twenty-first century.
