Synopsis

The true and gripping story of one of the most outstanding pieces of investigative journalism of recent years. When the Guardian first published details of Aitken's extraordinary abuse of his position, his response was immediate and decisive. Heresigned from cabinet and vowed to fight the allegations with the 'Sword of truth and trusty shield of British fair play'. What unfolded in court was an outrageously colourful, complex tangle of lies, corruption and arrogance. Exposed for perjury, his reputation - always a house of cards - ruined, Aitken abandoned his action and went into hiding.
