The man Beckett chose to follow, Oswald Mosley, has been the subject of an attempted major rehabilitation job in the last thirty odd years.

[…] obvious omissions from the possible published sources for several subjects: for example, Tristram Stuart’s excellent The Bloodless Revolution provides much more information about people such as John Oswald, vegetarian and republican who died fighting for the French Republic.

Estabrooks even offered the suggestion that Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby ‘could very well have been performing through hypnosis.’ The article’s date?
