Description
Escape tells the story of John Stonehouse's descent into tragedy, from his early days as an idealistic politician to the fateful decision that led him to fake his own death. This is a deeply personal and thought-provoking account of the pressures put upon him by his work, including resistance from the establishment and lack of support from those closest to him.
David Stead's book sheds light on the events leading up to Stonehouse's decision, exploring the mental health toll of his activism and the sense of isolation that followed. The author draws parallels between the environment in which Stonehouse lived and the state of society today, asking whether we have made progress in addressing the issues he faced.
Written by David Stead, a poet and writer who has explored themes of emotion through his work, Escape is a unique blend of biography and social commentary. This is Stead's first non-fiction book, but it marks an important step in his exploration of the human experience.
