Exploding the myths that surround Anthony Blunt this book reveals that he was not the fourth man but the first: the "managing director" of a network of spies that penetrated the very highest echelons of the American as well as the British establishments. By using newly discovered and top-secret British and American reports and cross-checking them with more than 300 interviews with Blunt's contemporaries John Costello presents a damning case against counter-intelligence. It proves how Blunt lied fom day one to MI5 and its interrogators. It shows how at an early age he learnt to exploit homosexual blackmail and how he forged the ring of Cambridge spies that would change the course of history. New light is thrown on the manoeuverings that started World War II and much of its aftermath and demonstrates the extent to which the bitter legacy of Anthony Blunt continues to haunt Anglo-American relations today.

HarperCollins, Publishers

1st Edition, 1976, printed in Great Britain, before the 1st U.S. printing ~ "The biggest naval battle in history occurred off the coast of Jutland in the afternoon of May 31, 1916 when the German High Seas Fleet confronted a six-mile line of grey-steel dreadnoughts of the British Grand Fleet. In this momentous 'clash of Titans' more than 200 warships of the rival navies were involved in a series of bitterly fought actions that lasted throughout the night. The result could determine the course of the First World War; as Churchill put it, 'Britain could have lost the war in an afternoon'."

One of the best-kept secrets of World War II has been the story of how close Britain came to making a peace deal with Germany in 1940. Based on the author's discovery of documentary evidence, this book sets out to reveal a high-level conspiracy and official manoeuvring which brought Britain to the brink of surrendering on Hitler's terms. The collision of events that occurred during the first month of Churchill's premiership is described in the context of ten days in May and June 1940 which can be said to have been crucial to the survival of western democracy. The author seeks to destroy the Churchillian myth of Britain's "finest hour" and to shed new light on Churchill's battle with his own cabinet - a battle which he almost lost. John Costello's other controversial accounts of World War II and recent history include "The Pacific War", "Love, Sex and War", "I Was There: Pearl Harbor and Midway" and "The Mask of Treachery".
