In November 1988, Hugh John Simmonds CBE, Margaret Thatcher’s
favorite speechwriter and the author’s best friend, boss and
political mentor, turned up dead in a woodland glade a few miles
from their sleepy suburban hometown 20 miles west of London. To
learn why his best friend was murdered, Geoffrey Gilson journeyed
into the dangerous world of international arms deals, covert
intelligence operations and high-level political corruption and
discovered a secret that explains much of contemporary
history.

A quest for truth which, after 20 years of high-risk adventure
coupled with painstaking research and firsthand interviews,
uncovered the ugly reality that, for some 30 years, the various
governments of Great Britain have loaned their country’s military
and intelligence services to the United States, allowing presidents
from Reagan to Obama to pursue their covert foreign and military
policies without the encumbrance of congressional oversight.
