"No politician pandered to the media's appetite for personality more tha Liberal MP Cyril Smith. Instantly recognisable for his colossal build, Smith was a larger-than-life character in a world of dull grey men ... Yet 'Big Cyril' was anything but the roly-poly gentle giant of popular imagination. In November 2012, Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk outed Smith in Parliament as a serial child abuser ... A story deeply rooted in the political culture of the 1970s and '80s, [this] brings to life Cyril's domineering personality and his sickening predilection. It reveals the extraordinary double life of a man who hoodwinked the public and evaded justice for decades"--Publisher's description.
