Jeremy Thorpe was defended in court by George Carman QC: his son wrote his [[No Ordinary Man by Dominic Carman|biography]] although it does concentrate more on celebrity gossip than analysis of his cases. Lord Donoughue, Bernard Donoughue as he then was, gave Thorpe good advice: we were impressed by his [[Downing Street Diary: Volume Two by Bernard Donoughue|diaries]].

|comment=If someone had written this as a fictional account it would not be believed - but it was all true. The book was well researched and a highly entertaining account of the events leading up to the trial of Jeremy Thorpe and of the trial itself.
