Steeped in conspiracy, scandal and socialism - the disappearance of
radical icon Victor Grayson is a puzzle that's never been solved. A
firebrand and Labour politician who rose to prominence in the early
twentieth century, Grayson was idolised by hundreds of thousands of
Britons but despised by the establishment. After a tumultuous life,
he walked out of his London apartment in September 1920 and was
never seen again. After a century, new documents have come to
light. Fragments of an unpublished autobiography, letters to his
lovers (both men and women), leading political and literary figures
including H.G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw, and testimonies from
members of the Labour elite such as Clement Attlee have revealed
the real Victor Grayson. New research has uncovered the true events
leading up to his disappearance and suggests that he was actually
blackmailed by his former Party. In a time when homosexuality was
illegal, and socialism an international threat to capitalism,
Grayson was a clear target for those wanting to stamp out dissent.
This extraordinary biography reinstates to history a man who laid
the foundations for a whole generation of militant socialists in
Britain.
