The successful defence of former Liberal leader, Jeremy Thorpe, on charges of conspiracy to murder, mad George Carman QC famous. In a full account of his life, Dominic Carman explains how his father fought to become the star of the Bar.

The successful defence of former Liberal leader, Jeremy Thorpe, on charges of conspiracy to murder, made Geroge Carman QC famous. His mastery of cross-examination and speech-making succeeded in winning a string of high-profile cases that earned him the titles of Great Defender and King of Libel. 'Gorgeous George' attracted a string of celebrity clients and his public triumphs made front page news. Yet, this very private man remained a mystery. In a full and frank account of his life, Dominic Carman explains how his father, the ambitious boy from Blackpool, fought to become the star of the Bar. This compelling account, reveals the story of a man whose private life was as extraordinary as his public life was successful.

Educated at Manchester Grammar School and Durham University, Dominic Carman worked in banking for 6 years, before beginning a publishing career at News International and then Euromoney Publications, based in London and in Hong Kong. He was later recruited as European Head of Operations for IIR, the world's largest conference company. He set up his own business in 2000, publishing a quarterly magazine, London Business Review. He and his wife live in London with their three children.
