The Wilson Plot. The Intelligence Services and the discrediting
of a Prime Minister 1945-1976
libdoc October=1991

Author(s) Leigh David
Publisher: Heinemann 1988 pp271

Intelligence Labour/Party

Contents include:
"...Leigh takes us inside the MI5 hall of mirrors to log the
lies, slurs and prejudices which, in the post-war years, spun a
suffocating web of rumours around the Wilson administration. Ten
members of that government were `investigated', discredited or
hounded out of office, on the flimsiest evidence. MI5 agent-
runners recruited MPs, friends of friends and right wing
journalists to carry the rumours and spin the web even tighter."
