Biography
Kevin Coogan was a veteran investigative journalist. His previous books include Dreamer of the Day: Francis Parker Yockey and the Postwar Fascist International (1999).
"Coogan proceeds to try and untangle a collection of the most intricate thickets in post WW2 intelligence history. Does he succeed? I think so; at any rate he succeeds in making intelligible areas of which I previously had little understanding....I was simply staggered by the amount of work Coogan has done and his extraordinary patience with some of the most intractable material imaginable." Robin Ramsay, Lobster Magazine.
