Books
When Sir Jimmy Savile died in 2011, he was celebrated as a prolific charity fundraiser who had dedicated his time to worthy causes. But 12 months later an ITV documentary revealed the shocking truth behind his TV persona, sparking hundreds of further sexual abuse allegations in the following days and weeks. But how was Savile allowed to get away with such monstrous crimes for so long? What role did the BBC play in sweeping previous allegations under the carpet? And why was a Newsnight investigation that was set to expose Savile shelved? This book examines the full ins and outs of the Savile case.
