The details of the issues are not important although all three were intimately related to the policy priorities of liberal modernisers concerned with international relations.

After a week's deliberations locally and with their national HQ (and substantial press coverage in The Evening Standard and The Guardian) the Liberals voted to put the Conservatives into power and Labour into opposition. With the skids already under the Callaghan government this was ...

... true message has been distorted by his self-styled 'disciples'. That may well be so, though some of Strauss's echt ideas still seem pretty wild to me. One is his theory of the 'Last Men', indebted to Nietzsche. These are the products of modern liberal civilisation, who have been softened, weakened and 'feminised' by comfort and democracy. The solution, thought Strauss, was a good bracing war or two. Apart from this, however, it is not always clear from Norton's book which of the 'Straussian' ...

... letter, reminding him of the article I had shown him and his agreement that Harry must have written it. Not a further word was heard of the 'hoax' story; and the ILP demand for a 'public enquiry' was dropped. Michael Meadowcroft was a radical Liberal MP for West Leeds and when the Massiter story appeared in the press he wrote a spirited defence of 'a personal friend from the early 1970s'. He also claimed Harry as a member from that period: 'I can recall his distress at being ostracised by a ...

There is also a list of abbreviations, a comprehensive Names Index and nine charts of 'Lineages' showing the development andor factionalising of Communist, Trotskyist and Nazi/Fascist groups.

... it made me wonder again how anybody ever took seriously historians who don't know economics. Newton shows that appeasement was a rational attempt by the Chamberlain wing of the Tory Party to rejig the post-Versailles world in a way which would keep Germany a member of the international, liberal (economically liberal) world. 'Between 1921 and 1940 the dominant alliance in Britain was founded on a coalition between a ruling élite centred on the Treasury, the Bank of England, and the City of London and an expanding middle class... this hegemonic ...

... .' Why has this not been widely recognised by the British tax-payers who fund it and who, Curtis believes, are ill-served by it? Curtis largely blames the mainstream media for promoting a picture of British foreign policy completely at odds with the reality and says 'the liberal intelligentsia is guilty of helping to weave a collective web of deceit'. 'To read many mainstream commentators on Britain's role in the world is to to enter a surreal, Kafkaesque world where the reality is often the direct opposite of what is intended and where the ...
