... and worked for Irish Home Rule. He has been seen as a forerunner of Woodrow Wilson, whose crusade for national self-determination inspired millions at the end of World War One, and as one of the founders of liberalism. So how can he have been an imperialist? The charge rests to a large extent on Gladstone's policy towards Egypt in 1882. Here the great liberal ended up presiding over a colonial adventure by which Egypt was turned from an autonomous province of the Ottoman Empire into a British 'Protectorate' The 1882 crisis was rooted in Egypt's financial relationship with Britain and France, whose financial sectors had lent the country significant sums of money. (1 ) This finance had ...

... and Skorzeny accepted when the CIA agreed to supplement his modest Egyptian salary. He did so partly on the urging of Schacht, who himself went to Indonesia as an advisor to Sukarno and advance man for Krupp. (90) The consequences of this CIA favour to Nasser and the Nazis were to be widespread and long term. Skorzeny left Egypt after about a year, but he left behind him about 50 former S.S . and Gestapo men, many of them recruited from Argentina and neighbouring countries by Skorzeny's Nazi colleague in Buenos Aires, Colonel Hans-Ulrich Rudel. Among these was the chief post-war theorist of Nazism in Latin America, Peron's friend, Johannes ...

... Installed in power after a CIA-sanctioned coup2 that saw off Egypt's dissolute King Faroukh (shades here of Emperor Bao Dai), Nasser quickly turned out not to be pro- west but agnostic in that regard. Nasser was happy to deal with the Soviet bloc and initially reliant on various German (some ex-Nazi) advisors as Egypt became a leading player in the non-aligned group of nations. When the US tired of Nasser's manoeuvres (July 1956), they withdrew funding for the Aswan Dam project. Nasser retaliated by nationalising the Suez Canal a week later. With the UK having only three days reserves of oil, Eden worried a great deal from this ...

... same time. The bowing of Eden at al to US instructions backed with threats to cause financial chaos to the Sterling area to stop the fighting is not recorded. Yet surely this is the essential prism through which to view this debacle? One is struck when reading this episode that the UK political leadership could clearly have continued the fighting in Egypt for long enough to have secured complete control of the Suez Canal (another 24, maybe 36 hours) and then have told the US that they would run it in future in a manner similar to the way the US operated the Panama Canal, the jurisdiction and operation of which was not, apparently, open for debate within the ...

... this strategy can be found in the movements of, and close relationship between, Otto Skorzeny and Hjalmar Schacht. (10) In July 1951 Schacht, (11) only just cleared by the last of a series of denazification trials and appeals, was invited by President Sukarno to overhaul the finances of Indonesia. He travelled to Djakarta via Egypt. Here he met privately with the army officers who would later overthrow King Farouk. He also stopped in India, which he visited at the suggestion of Nehru. At this point the Korean war was expected to escalate into a general east-west conflict, an alarming prospect for nations such as India and Indonesia. Both were governed ...
