The power of secrets and lies can make or break a person. The greatest careers that have stood the test of time can crumble in a moment when the wrong person learns the right piece of information - or be it the right person learning the wrong. From the individuals that led scandalous lives to the singular action that caused the greatest gossip, the Book of Scandals covers all kinds of shocking moments in history. Some of the most influential people in history will forever be remembered for their one mistake, others have powered through it. The likes of Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra lived continuously scandalous lives, the golden girl of Hollywood and her sheer dress singing for the president, and the king of swing and his ties to the mob. Venture into the world of politics, and the biggest known scandal in history: Watergate.
The event that was the final nail in the coffin of Nixon’s presidency. Delve into the royal world, with the loves that changed the course of history, the hidden affairs and the mislabelled princesses that shook many royal houses. And, of course, not escaping your scrutinous eye is the world of sport. From the longest-standing sporting controversy, the Black Sox scandal, to the threats on modern athletics in career-ending doping offenses and the infamous paralympic cheats.
