... Guardian 15/5 /87 The full details of these various episodes, which are essential for a full understanding of the Wilson plots, will be revealed in a forthcoming Lobster book. It is worth noting that: The failure of the Groundnut Scheme was used as the basis of a smear campaign in 1951. Those tarnished included the former Communist John Strachey and his close friend Leslie Plummer, an East-West Trader. The scientific adviser to the scheme, and at the time a financial supporter of the Tribune, was Victor Rothschild. Attempts were made to raise the issue during the 1964 election, but Wilson, who had a very tenuous link to the scheme through the timber merchant ...

But, boy, some of it is hard work. There is a 26-page article with the subtitle, 'The Curious Case of the New Communist Party, Searchlight and the Nazi honeytrap....(run by a hermaphrodite) ', which is all but unintelligible to me because, as with his pamphlets, the information is obscured by O'Hara's speculation and his writing style.

... IRIS, an anti-left grouping supported by many prominent trade union leaders. Although IRIS was wound up in 1992, it was certainly active into the late 1980s.(4) IRIS began as a mid-1950s off-shoot of Common Cause, an alliance of Tory right-wingers, military men concerned about the strength of the Soviet Union and union officials worried about communist influence on their members.(5) Office space was provided at the London headquarters of the National Union of Seamen, which in those days was practically a company union. The list of directors of IRIS reads like a who's who of the British trade union right. They have included Lord Allen, general secretary of the shopworkers' ...

... Escape and The Wooden Horse). He became obsessed with the well-publicised exploits of a notorious Dutch solder, Raymond 'Turk' Westerling, who was fighting against Indonesian nationalists in the Celebes. This obsession grew into a determination to join the Special Air Service, the celebrated British wartime unit that had been re-formed in Malaya in 1951 to fight the Communists. De la Billiere's concern in this account of his early years is to establish his credentials as someone who did not toe the line or obey the rules.

In the First World War 2.5 million working-class Britons and Empire citizens died in an insanely futile conflict; 3, ...

Until recently all the book-reading public knew about Golitsyn was (a) that he has exposed some (relatively minor) Soviet operations; (b) made a series of quite bizarre sounding claims to the effect that the divisions within the Communist bloc were a device to mislead the capitalist states in the West; and (c) that the KGB had achieved high-level penetration of all the West's intelligence services. Golitsyn's views were apparently accepted by some intelligence officers in the West- notably James Angleton, until 1974 head of CIA's Counter Intelligence division- and mole hunting became the order ...
