Book excerpt: Paul Gambaccini chose to live in Britain, arriving here at the age of 21 from his home in the United States. He won a scholarship to Oxford, and wanted to escape the administration of Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew. Imagine his disappointment when his chosen country betrayed, psychologically tortured and abandoned him. Arrested on risible accusations of historic child sex abuse, he was disgraced in the press and made unemployable, having to pay tens of thousands of pounds in legal fees during a year in which he had no income. Finally, inevitably, he became the latest celebrity to be completely exonerated, the allegations completely thrown out. 'Love, Paul Gambaccini' is a first person account of the witch hunt Gambaccini endured at the hands of the Metropolitan Police and Crown Prosecution Service.
