Susan. L. Carruthers Leicester University Press, London and New York, 1995 £45 hb, £16.99 pb. This is an important study of British psy-war activities, and the politics thereof, since the war.

Particularly interesting is David Hambling’s short account of claims very similar to those made by today’s targetted individuals (TIs) which were made two hundred […]
[…] Willan wrote the wonderful The Puppet Masters about post-war Italian politics and this is more of the same, a smaller patch examined in more detail.
