'Compelling' The Daily Mail 'So many gripping moments... a real
cracker' The Evening Standard The jaw-dropping and inspiring story
of accidental queer icon Norman Scott (the hero of TV drama A Very
English Scandal) and the part he played in one of the greatest
political scandals of the 20th century. In October 1975 an assassin
tried to murder Norman Scott on Exmoor but the trigger failed and
he only succeeded in shooting Scott's beloved dog, Rinka. Scott
subsequently found himself at the centre of a major political
scandal and became an unlikely queer icon. But this was never his
intention... He was born in 1940 into a poor, dysfunctional and
abusive family. Aged sixteen he began an equestrian career, animals
having been the one source of comfort in his childhood. By the age
of twenty he had run into debts and had suffered a nervous
breakdown. In 1960 Scott began a sexual affair with Jeremy Thorpe.
By the time of the attempted assassination of Scott, Thorpe was
married, leader of the Liberal Party and a figure at the heart of
the establishment. He was embarrassed by their former relationship
and wanted to cover it up. But he failed. The assassination attempt
culminated in a sensational trial in 1979, where Thorpe was tried
for conspiracy to murder. The press labelled Scott a madman and the
establishment protected Thorpe, who was acquitted. Only recently
has Scott's version of events been vindicated. An Accidental Icon
tells a story that is inspiring and jaw droppingly unbelievable: it
is the tale of the courage and survival of one man who took on the
establishment
Additional Contributors Include W. T. Jackman, A. B. Wolfe, Charles
Philips Huse, And Many Others.
