In defence of the party: the secret state the Conservative Party and dirty tricks Colin Challon & Mike Hughes. Medium Publishing 1996 pp68 3.95. This interesting little pamphlet contains six essays by Hughes and Challen that consider the roots and evolution of the "special relationship between the secret state and the Tories." Starting with the Machiavellian manoeuverings of Reggie "Blinker" Hall founder of the Economic League the essays present cameo portraits of some of the key players in Tory dirty tricks operations. These include Airey Neave who steered Margaret Thatcher to power before he was blown-up by the Irish National Liberation Army; Brian Crozier who ran the CIA backed Institute for Conflict Studies and David Hart who helped establish the scab National Union of Working Miners during the 1985-86 coal miners strike.
