... extent to which some of the participants in the drama, notably Pincher and D-notice Committee secretary Lohan, were motivated by hatred of the Labour government. Prime Minister Wilson knew this, which explains his (failed, disastrous) attempt to tackle them head-on. And it really wasn't, as he has it, 'the British Watergate': that epithet must surely go to the anti-Labour operations of the 1970s, about which he says nothing. The 80 pages on Pincher and the D-notice Affair feel like they're from another book. There is one striking error. In his section on the publication of The Quiet Canadian (1962) about William Stephenson ...

... former SIS number two, the late George Kennedy Young, operating as the Unison Committee for Action;138 and there was the Crozier-IRD subversion- watcher network. The détente with the Soviet Union was the background. In the UK it provided the context for IRD to be reigned back. In the US, in the wake of Watergate and the subsequent revelations of CIA activities in the US and abroad, and the election of Jimmy Carter in 1976, there was a purge in the CIA. To Crozier and others of his ilk détente was a farce – a Soviet deception operation – and these intelligence cuts a catastrophe. (In their worst imaginings they were the result ...

... ideological content of most movies actually matters to their producers. Maybe the fact that a major studio made Avatar simply suggests that the corporations which own Hollywood are chiefly interested in profits and if green-lefty stuff makes them money, their dream factories will make that, too. Just as there was in the 1970s, in the wake of Watergate and the subsequent revelations of FBI and CIA covert operations, there is a little bit of liberal dissidence in mainstream American movies, mostly at the low budget end, which the author discusses. But 'a little bit' is all. This is competently done, decently written and, if you've seen a lot of American movies – and ...
