... greater importance for the development of the Nazi policy of genocide, because considerably more men and resources were devoted to them than was originally thought. The early stages of the Holocaust have had to be rethought. Inevitably, which contributions seem most important in a collection such as this reflects the interests and concerns of the reviewer. Bearing this in mind, of particular interest in this are Piotr Wrobel's 'An NKVD Residentura (Residency) in the Warsaw Ghetto', Hilary Earl's 'Confessions of Wrongdoing, or How to Save Yourself from the Hangman? An Analysis of British and American Intelligence Reports of the Activities of Einsatzgruppenfuhrer Otto Ohlendorf, May-June 1945', and Norman Goda's 'True Confessions ...

... , including at the BNP. Oborne recounts a visit to the traditional Labour heartland of Dagenham and Barking with local MP and unsuccessful 2007 Labour deputy leader candidate Jon Cruddas. 'It was plain to me walking thorough Dagenham with Jon Cruddas, that most of the defecting Labour voters were fairly decent people doing the best for their families: community-minded, law-abiding, hard-working, middle-of-the-road. They were victims of the Political Class who had been left with no one to speak up for them, and nowhere to go. Neither the Conservative opposition, nor the New Labour government, is speaking for these people..... ...

... and the CIA, chiefly, which had serious vested interests in the Cold War. The centrepiece of Talbot's account of this conflict with the US military, is Cuba. For the military it was straightforward: the US had the strategic nuclear advantage (the 'missile gap' had been forgotten) and thus could and should invade Cuba. Never mind even pretending to the world that it was a Cuban insurrection – the dumb little plan behind the Bay of Pigs invasion. As if the cover story would have stood! (2 ) Talbot has talked to the surviving members of the Kennedys' political staff and discovered, if not quite a hidden history, much new detail about JFK's ...

... experience of labour movement politics and was certainly no intellectual, those who theorised and rendered the process possible – in terms of a Gramscian war of position or construction of a hegemony – were former members of the Communist Party or members of the Demos think tank. Names like Peter Mandelson, Stuart Hall, Martin Kettle and Martin Jacques spring to mind immediately What particularly interests me about Marshall's book is its dissection of Christopher and Peter Hitchins's politics and what it says about the absorption of former Trotskyists into the dominant hegemony since the 1990s. We know that all these democratic centralist cults of the 1970s and 80s looked like secular versions of the Moonies and that their claim to be the vanguard ...

... for nearly forty years. What we are really talking about is knowledge speaking to politicians, and as everybody who has tried to do so discovers, this is much harder than it looks at the outset; at any rate it is with the kind of knowledge which people like Scott have to offer and the kind of limp, career-minded politicians we now have in the Democratic and Labour parties. This is vintage Scott. He remains my model of how to do this. Last | Contents | Next ...

... and Russian confrontation c/o Iran and Kurdistan. See how the phrase 'acknowledgement of grievances' rises to the top of otherwise pacific language. It is an indication of overdue pragmatic acceptance of reality – addressing 'minds' (acknowledgement of grievance) rather than 'hearts' which have long gone. As a result, the construction of 'hearts and minds' spin becomes less significant; hitherto, it has accurately reflected every floundering policy lurch as it unravelled from the macho ( 'winning'), to 'changing', and finally, in desperation, to 'reaching' them. The authenticity juggernaut is causing huge problems in the most unlikely places, including British spooks. Reasons include: ...

... illegal activities such as assassinations is not credible [as] confirmed by the report of an inquiry carried out by Sir John Stevens......... ' You or I might take this as a claim that Britain's security and intelligence institutions have been involved in assassinations (the attempts to get Nasser or Lumumba spring to mind). Paget's reply to Fayed's assertion is: 'It is important to note in the Stevens (Northern Ireland) Report that the term "agents" is used to refer to informants or sources and not "agents" as it is sometimes colloquially understood to be, "MI6 spies". Thus the reference to "agents being involved ...

... . Find the non-ideological tribespeople, bribe them, give them guns and turn them on the Islamists. Fine as far as it goes – and it seems to have brought some sort of stability to Anbar – but we are sure it is not quite what the mild-mannered liberal and evangelical advocates of peace and reconciliation had in mind when they surged around the government for pet project funding. The illusion of Northern Ireland is that constant dialogue and alternatively talking tough and offering concessions between reasonable people can shift a militarized problem into a civilian one; that politics is always the solution and that sweet reasonableness is part of politics. This works within a fundamentally liberal-democratic ...

On the first couple of screens there is a list of the symptoms reported by the victims – or if you are sceptical, the 'victims' – of this technology. Some of these effects are described as established fact in a recently declassified US military study of this subject, 'Bioeffects of Selected Non-Lethal ...

... and be open-ended. The conversation finishes when the guests decide, not when TV people make them stop. This combination – still unique in the history of television – produced, as if by magic, chatty grenades, exploding first in central Europe and then the UK, disturbing the smooth efficiency of the schedules and the peace of mind of the broadcasters with happy regularity. After Dark turned out to be some kind of anti-television experiment, a programme which, despite the careful plans and preparations of TV professionals, was actually not in our hands. Week in and week out the participants took control of the programme and used it for their own ends and in ...
