(1) What I shall attempt here is an examination of this myth of the SAS as it is elaborated in Peter de la Billiere's autobiography and his personal account of the Gulf War.(2) Born Rebel De la Billiere was born in April 1934, the son of a Surgeon Lieutenant Commodore in the Royal Navy, who was killed during the German invasion of Crete in 1941. He never really knew his father and confesses that it was only much later that he felt any real sense of loss. He was brought up by his mother and a succession of nannies. His account of his childhood in Looking For Trouble, entitled 'Born Rebel', is a story ...

... the KGB file on Oswald but hinted that something might turn up from an unexpected quarter. Turner suspects that Farewell America was that something; that although the book was put together by French intelligence people, it was the contact with Kostikov which led to it. The pseudonymous writer of the book was Thomas Buchanan, author of the 1964 Who Killed Kennedy? Although Robert Kennedy's public line was to support the Warren Commission verdict, privately he got a friend, Patrick Moynihan, later a senator, to make some inquiries about the event (which could amount to what, realistically?), some of which material found its way into the book. So we may have had the ...

... Lacoste. One of Quiles and Imbot's first post-Greenpeace steps was to shake up the Action Service. They closed the Aspretto base, ended recruitment from two parachute regiments and resurrected the DGSE (then SDECE's) old strong-arm branch, the 11th Shock Regiment, disbanded by De Gaulle in 1962 for its close sympathies with the OAS who had attempted to kill De Gaulle on numerous occasions. (Guardian 3 and 7 October 1985. In reality, of course, the school later reopened, its 60 saboteurs absorbed into the 11th Shock under its new commander, Col. Jean-Claude Lesquer- the Action Service chief who had organised the Rainbow Warrior sabotage.) Apart from the right-wing revolt from within ...

... and the three were sentenced to five years each at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin in June 1974. On appeal, the sentences were increased to seven years, but no notice was taken of the Loyalists' repeated references during interrogations to the "English soldier who had given them the photographs". The case was linked directly to the killing of Grew and Carroll on December 12th 1982, a key part of the Stalker enquiry, not only through the identity of the victim, but also through that of the organisers of both operations: 'the badger' had also ensured the border would be clear on the night of the Grew-Carroll killings, and one RUC officer investigated by Stalker ...

Peter Smith The killing of WPC Yvonne Fletcher in public view and for no apparent reason remains one of the most notorious murders of recent decades. For sixteen years there have been few signs of any serious attempts to locate and bring to justice the perpetrator of this outrage. Finally, this April, in an outstanding piece of investigative journalism, a re-examination of the pathological and ballistical evidence strongly contests the official version of that tragic event in St James's Sq.(1) Why would the Libyans do it? There ...

... flaws and recycles a good deal of material already available in Garrison's own On the Trail of the Assassins, but is on the whole well researched, produces some interesting new information, and is highly plausible. There are fundamentally two schools of thought in JFK studies. One, represented for example by David Scheim, blames the Mafia for the killing. (1) The other, embodied in the work of Lane, Garrison and Summers (admittedly their versions of the story are rather different) fingers the CIA. (2) DiEugenio backs the second group. Briefly, he maintains that Kennedy was the victim of a plot hatched in the Western Hemisphere division of the CIA. ...

S. diplomats say.' Perhaps 5,000 names were given to the military during the massacres in 1965 which left perhaps 250,000 dead. Somehow Kadane had persuaded a senior CIA agent in Indonesia and his diplomatic boss at the time to talk, on the record. The story was run, ...
