Hanes gweinyddol / Braslun bywgraffyddol | Administrative history | Biographical sketch Nodyn | Note (Morgan) Goronwy Rees (1909-1979) was born at Aberystwyth on 29 November 1909, the youngest child of the Revd R. J. Rees (1868-1963), the minister of the famous Tabernacle Calvinistic Methodist chapel in the town. In 1923 the family moved to Roath in Cardiff and Goronwy Rees was educated at Cardiff High School for Boys (1923-1928) and New College, Oxford, where he graduated with first class honours in Politics, Philosophy and Economics. He was elected to a prize fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford, later undertook research at Berlin, and was a leader writer on the staff of the Manchester Guardian from 1932 until 1935. At the outbreak of the Second World War, Goronwy Rees mobilized as a gunner in the 90th field regiment. He saw active service in the war years with some distinction and held a variety of occupations thereafter. In 1951 he was appointed bursar of Old Souls College, Oxford, and from 1953 until 1956 he was the Principal of the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. Now Rees's relationship with Guy Burgess, whom he had first befriended in 1934, returned to haunt him, especially in 1956 when the Principal published in The People newspaper a series of quite sensational articles about Burgess's activities and his lifestyle. Such was the local outcry at Aberystwyth that Rees himself felt that he had little alternative but to resign the position of Aberystwyth Principal the following year. Subsequently, facing financial difficulties, Rees developed a successful new career as a writer and journalist. His output Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru = The National Library of Wales Tudalen | Page 3 GB 0210 GORONRS Goronwy Rees Papers, included two fascinating and highly readable volumes of autobiography A Bundle of Sensations (1960) and A Chapter of Accidents (1972). He also appeared on the BBC television series The Brains Trust. Following the death of his wife in 1976, Goronwy Rees died at London on 12 December 1979. The precise truth about his associations with espionage and security during the years of the Cold War will always elude historians and writers. Natur a chynnwys | Scope and content A small group of the papers of (Morgan) Goronwy Rees (1909-1979), former Principal of the University College of Wales Aberystwyth, 1953-1957, including correspondence, articles, notebooks and photographs.

TO MY WIFE LOIS Prologue For years I had wondered what the last day would be like. In January 1976 after two decades in the top echelons of the British Security Service, MI5, it was time to rejoin the real world. I emerged for the final time from Euston Road tube station. The winter sun shone brightly as I made my way down Gower Street toward Trafalgar Square. Fifty yards on I turned into the unmarked entrance to an anonymous office block. Tucked between an art college and a hospital stood the unlikely headquarters of British Counterespionage. I showed my pass to the policeman standing discreetly in the reception alcove and took one of the specially programmed lifts which carry senior officers to the sixth-floor inner sanctum. I walked silently down the corridor to my room next to the Director-General's suite. The offices were quiet. Far below I could hear the rumble of tube trains carrying commuters to the West End. I unlocked my door. In front of me stood the essential tools of the intelligence officer’s trade - a desk, two telephones, one scrambled for outside calls, and to one side a large green metal safe with an oversized combination lock on the front.

By incisively interpreting these moments of unsettled apprehension and by tracking patterns of coping and surviving, this rich, important book helps us understand, and perhaps even navigate, present anxieties about the capacity of democracies to grapple with the big issues of economics, geopolitics, and the environment.” —Ira Katznelson, author of Fear Itself: The New Deal and the Origins of Our Time Why do democracies keep lurching from success to failure?

  • Aberystwyth University Women's Club 1955-2015 (PDF)
    I. Beginnings Three of us, Mollie Reynolds, Hannah Harbury and myself were having coffee together, and we saw the wife of one of the members of staff going past. In that pre-feministic age, the custom was to refer to ‘the wife of this-or-that professor’. Anyway, not one of us could remember who she was, and we agreed that that was a laughable situation. You have to remember that only a fifth of the number of students that are here today were at the College at that time; the majority of the staff lived in the town and the professors either walked or bicycled to the College. There were very few houses on Waunfawr, and nearly every College department was in the old building. Mollie suggested that we start a Club. And so we set about composing a letter and having copies made. There was no such thing as photocopying then. We were surprised by the reaction, everyone was enthusiastic, and I found myself treasurer of this new Club, much to my husband’s unease! This is how Mair Williams described the formation of the University of Wales Women’s Club (or the College Women’s Club as it was first called) in Yr Angor in 1995 on the occasion of its 40th anniversary. She later recalled that this had happened at a College event around 1954, about the time that Goronwy Rees had arrived at Aberystwyth. Mollie Reynolds suggestion that we start a Club stemmed from the fact that she had been a member of a Women’s Club at the London School of Economics where her husband, Philip A.

  • History Won't Allow Us to Let Sleeping Dogs Lie It Is an Injustice to Those Who Are Falsely Accused, Both Living and Dead, If the Secrets of the Past Remain Hidden
    The Times May 14, 2009 History won't allow us to let sleeping dogs lie It is an injustice to those who are falsely accused, both living and dead, if the secrets of the past remain hidden Ben Macintyre Should old men be left in peace with their secrets? Should John Demjanjuk be dragged to justice on a hospital gurney to answer charges that he was Ivan the Terrible, a guard at Sobibor concentration camp? Should Pope Benedict XVI explain, finally, whether he was a member of Hitler Youth? And should Arthur Wynn, a former civil servant and pillar of the British scientific community, be exposed, eight years after his death and seventy years after his last known contact with Moscow, as “Agent Scott”, the KGB recruiter responsible for forging the Oxford ring of Soviet spies? There is only one honest answer. The imperative to account for the past should not be fired by ideology, morality or revenge, but by the desire for clarity and to pay the debt that we owe the past. If we let sleeping dogs lie, we give the lie to history. Britain remains fascinated with Soviet spies, and mole-hunting is still a national obsession, coloured by fiction. Indeed, the word “mole” was coined by John le Carré, capturing the silent, apparently innocuous burrower deep in the Establishment, undermining its foundations. Yet the great postwar mole-hunt, launched after the defections of Kim Philby, Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean, did huge damage, and not only to the credibility of the intelligence services. The innocent were tarred along with the guilty: many individuals were “identified” as Soviet spies on little or no evidence, and had their reputations ruined.

    “The Quality of the Ordinary”: Anglo-American Diplomacy and the Third World 1975- 1980 Andrew J. Whitford Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Andrew J. Whitford All rights reserved ABSTRACT “The Quality of the Ordinary”: Anglo-American Diplomacy and the Third World 1975- 1980 Andrew J. Whitford The recovery of the Anglo-American relationship in the late 1970s took place in the Third World. The “Special Relationship” between the United States and Britain reached its post World War II nadir in the decade between 1964 and 1974. Simultaneous to this decline in the relationship was the growing power and influence of the Third World in international institutions. By the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, both the United States and Britain were suffering political and economic turmoil brought about by increased oil prices, labor unrest, and inflation. The two countries worked together to navigate a broad array of problems to include the Third World’s increasing hostility to Israel and calls for a New International Economic Order in the United Nations, a growing refugee crisis in southeast Asia, the spread of the Cold War to southern Africa, and questions about decline and disorder at home. In the United States, neoconservatives began to assert a greater role in international affairs by questioning both the future of British socialism and the wisdom of appeasing the Third World. Within these constraints, British and American statesmen acted to end white rule in Rhodesia to contain communist expansion, care for refugees while upholding international law within real fiscal constraints, and free American hostages held in Iran.

  • The Cambridge Ring
    Kelsey Bacon JR/SR Honors Project Faculty Advisor: Professor Jeffrey Burds March 22, 2012 THE CAMBRIDGE RING: A Biographical Account of Five King’s Men Who Spied for Stalin The Cambridge Five were the KGB’s crowning glory in their struggle against Fascism and Western Imperialism. The sheer degree to which these five men - Kim Philby, Guy Burgess, Donald Maclean, Anthony Blunt and John Cairncross – compromised the British Government makes the Cambridge Ring arguably one of the greatest, if not the greatest, penetration operations achieved to date. Yuri Modin remarked of the NKVD feat: “No other spy organization had accomplished such a devastating coup.”1 In a feat of brilliance, the Soviets had acquired young members of Britain’s elite who were poised for careers perfect for long-term espionage. Yet these men were not coerced. They did not spy under duress. They were youthful products of the 1930s whose passionate and liberal ideals had been awakened by the intensifying Fascist movement in Europe.2 Nor were they inspired by reward and they were quick to refuse any monetary gift from their clandestine employers.3 1 Yuri Modin, My Five Cambridge Friends, trans.

These men had begun as friends and, with the exception of Cairncross, had actively participated in the formation of their secret group.4 The overwhelmingly prolific nature of their work was largely the result of their own motivation.

  • The Welshness of Goronwy Rees
    69 The Welshness of Goronwy Rees Jenny Rees Mr President, Mr Chairman, officers and members of the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion, ladies and gentlemen: it is a very great pleasure to be with you here this evening to talk about my father, my infamous father. I know that he, too, would have been very touched by this invitation from his fellow countrymen – he would, of course, have been far more entertaining for you to listen to. And he could have done it in Welsh. There may well be those among you here tonight who knew him or encountered him somewhere on his eventful journey through life and will have formed your own impressions of him, which won’t be quite like my own. It is impossible, though I have tried often enough, for me to be dispassionate and objective about him. In fact, just thinking about him, as I have done so many times since his death over thirty years ago, still very often can reduce me to tears. How could a man so generously endowed with gifts, so intellectually brilliant, handsome, charming, and witty, have contrived to make such an apparent mess of things? It is something of a puzzle, and although much has come out since his death, we may probably never know the full truth of the matter. Recently, I have taken to thinking of my father’s life in terms of that television game show, in which the panel is shown around someone’s house and asked to guess who lives there. ‘What kind of a person lives in a housel like this?’ is the big question.
