Uitgever: Balans, Uitgeverij. Samenvatting Londen, eind jaren dertig. Tijdens de onheilspellende stilte voor de Blitz vindt hier een van de belangrijkste spionageoperaties van de Tweede Wereldoorlog plaats, die evenwel nauwelijks bekendheid kreeg. Tyler Kent is een hoffelijke, jonge Amerikaanse coderingsexpert. Hij is ook een dwangmatige vrouwenjager - en een sovjetspion. Na zijn stationering in Londen komt hij al snel in aanvaring met de man die de inspiratiebron zou worden voor 'M' van James Bond: Maxwell Knight, een exentrieke Brit, net aangesteld om de ultrageheime nieuwe contraspionageactiviteiten van MI5 te gaan leiden. Via zijn werk voor de Amerikaanse ambassade ontdekt Kent dat president Roosevelt gecodeerde telegrammen uitwisselt met Winston Churchill. Met de bedoeling Roosevelt ten val te brengen geeft hij kopieen van die telegrammen aan een groep nazispionnen die wordt geleid door zijn vriendin, Anna Wolkoff, een elegante Russische emigrante, die als couturier de stijlvolste vrouwen van Londen kleedt. Op dat moment besluit Knight te infiltreren in het glamorous groepje samenzweerders, die regelmatig bijeenkomt in een chic restaurant in South Kensington, The Russian Tearooms. Tegen de achtergrond van oefeningen voor luchtaanvallen, verduisterde straten en speculaties over de dreigende Duitse aanval op Groot-Brittannie ontrafelt Willetts het duistere kat-en-muisspel dat volgt.

Marketplace Anna Wolkoff Rancune, terecht of niet, is een krachtige drijfveer voor spionnen. Dat geldt ook voor Tyler Kent, een Amerikaan van goede afkomst, intelligent, maar enigszins narcistisch en behept met een hang naar radicale ondemocratische politieke ideologie ën. Als Kent in een naar zijn smaak onbelangrijk baantje krijgt op de pas geopende Amerikaanse ambassade in Moskou, gaat hij algauw werken voor de NKVD. Alle post die door zijn handen gaat, belandt bij Stalins geheime dienst, die zijn salaris aardig aanvult en een leuke vriendin regelt om hem in de gaten te houden. Maar Kent raakt op den duur uitgekeken op het communisme en ziet in Adolf Hitler zijn nieuwe held die de wereld zal verbeteren. De echte hoofdpersoon van Rendez-vous in de Tearooms is echter niet de spion Kent, maar de couturier Anna de Wolkoff. In haar vaders restaurant treffen ze elkaar. Via haar netwerk van extreemrechtse vrouwen komt ze ook in contact met Tyler Kent, een onverbeterlijke womanizer, die op eigen verzoek is overgeplaatst van Moskou naar Londen. Die informatie zou op dat moment de herverkiezing van Roosevelt voor een unieke derde termijn kunnen dwarsbomen. Rendez-vous in de Russian Tearooms — Paul Willets Wat Wolkoff niet weet, is dat haar vriendinnenclub is geïnfiltreerd door vrouwelijke geheim agenten van MI5, sectie B5b onder leiding van pulpfictie-schrijver en naturalist Maxwell Knight. Knight is verantwoordelijk voor het in de gaten houden van linkse en rechtse radicalen, door hun organisaties te laten infiltreren. Zelf is hij overigens bevriend met William Joyce, de Britse nazi-propagandist die bekend werd onder zijn bijnaam Lord Haw-Haw. Langzaam maar zeker zit hij Wolkoff op de hielen en komt hij Kent op het spoor. Anna Wolkoff was overigens enige tijd de buurvrouw van de jonge Len Deighton. Geïnspireerd door haar verhaal raakte de jongen in de ban van spionageverhalen en zou hij zich ontwikkelen tot een van de grootste spionageromanschrijvers van het Koude Oorlog tijdperk. Rendez-vous in de Russian Tearooms is geschreven als een spionageroman. Het komt wat langzaam op gang, want het is zeer gedetailleerd in de omschrijvingen en wat er tussen de personages allemaal is voorgevallen en gezegd. Dat riekt naar een flinke dosis fictie en dat heeft auteur Paul Willets zelf ook beseft. Daarom geeft hij expliciet aan dat hij geen zogenaamde faction heeft geschreven, die soms vermakelijke maar voor historici meestal irritante mix van feit en fictie. Willets heeft vanaf alles dat er was verzameld over dit onderwerp en heeft naar eigen zeggen daarom het verhaal van Tyler Kent en Anna Wolkoff tot in detail kunnen reconstrueren.

  • The Appeal of Fascism to the British Aristocracy During the Inter-War Years, 1919-1939
    THE APPEAL OF FASCISM TO THE BRITISH ARISTOCRACY DURING THE INTER-WAR YEARS, 1919-1939 THESIS PRESENTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OFARTS. By Kenna Toombs NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY MARYVILLE, MISSOURI AUGUST 2013 The Appeal of Fascism 2 Running Head: THE APPEAL OF FASCISM TO THE BRITISH ARISTOCRACY DURING THE INTER-WAR YEARS, 1919-1939 The Appeal of Fascism to the British Aristocracy During the Inter-War Years, 1919-1939 Kenna Toombs Northwest Missouri State University THESIS APPROVED Date Dean of Graduate School Date The Appeal of Fascism 3 Abstract This thesis examines the reasons the British aristocracy became interested in fascism during the years between the First and Second World Wars. As a group the aristocracy faced a set of circumstances unique to their class. These circumstances created the fear of another devastating war, loss of Empire, and the spread of Bolshevism. The conclusion was determined by researching numerous books and articles. When events required sacrifice to save king and country, the aristocracy forfeited privilege and wealth to save England.

  • CHAPTER 2 the VITAL FUNCTION: World War II and Diplomatic Security
    CHAPTER 2 THE VITAL FUNCTION: World War II and Diplomatic Security CHAPTER 2 8 THE VITAL FUNCTION World War II and Diplomatic Security The experiences of the World War II era (1933-1945) expanded and solidified diplomatic security as a vital function of the Department of State. From the first days of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidency, the Department faced grave threats to U.S. diplomacy, primarily from Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and Japan. As a result, the Department broadened its definition of security and expanded the number of entities monitoring and enforcing security. The Department’s new, expanded security apparatus under President Roosevelt, however, was disjointed. Security responsibilities were dispersed across multiple offices with overlapping jurisdictions. Moreover, the Office of the Chief Special Agent, which had handled security since World War I, often was not involved in many of the new security measures. By the end of World War II, the Department was implementing security in a more extensive, formalized manner that touched and altered every level of the Department’s operations. In fact, many security measures first implemented during World War II—such as coded ID badges, formal document classification procedures, and a courier network—are today accepted as part of the Department’s normal, daily routine. Moscow and Berlin When Franklin D. Roosevelt assumed the Presidency in March 1933, the Department of State faced diplomatic security threats from Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Throughout the 1930s, the regimes of both nations respectively targeted the U.S. Embassies in Berlin and Moscow for espionage. Security problems at the U.S.

In 1947 and 1948, The New York Sun ran a Pulitzer Prize-winning exposé of waterfront corruption and violence. Yet the problem persisted, culminating in two gangland executions near the entrance to Pier 3. Budd Schulberg, the journalist, screenwriter and novelist, was inspired by The New York Sun articles to write a long feature on the subject for The Saturday Evening Post.

BRIAN SIMPSON* National security has long been advanced as a justification for the abrogation of civil liberties. In this lecture, Professor Simpson examines through the analysis of particular cases how two nations dealt with these competing values in the internment without trial of their respective citizens during World War I. Condemning the secrecy and lack of accountability of the authorities responsible for protecting the nation, Simpson issues a call for vigilance and a warning that patterns and habits of respect for liberty will serve better than mere forms of procedure to effectively insure that liberties are not again abandoned to ill-founded claims of defense necessity.

Brian Simpson Administrative / biographical history: The collection consists of documents and correspondence assembled by Professor A.W. Brian Simpson during the writing of his book In the Highest Degree Odious: Detention Without Trial in Wartime Britain (Clarendon Press, 1992). To quote from Professor Simpson’s preface to his work: ‘During the Second World War a very considerable number of people were detained by the British government without charge, or trial, or term set, on the broad ground that this was necessary for national security. Most were not British citizens, but technically enemy aliens – in fact most of these enemy aliens were refugees from Europe. A far smaller number of those detained were British citizens, and they were held under Regulation 18B [of September 1939, and more particularly the specially formulated section 18B (1A) introduced in November] of the Defence Regulations; it is with this regulation and those detained under it that this book is concerned’. The background to the implementation of the regulation was the threat of an imminent German invasion of Britain in May 1940 following the collapse of Allied forces in France. Under the legislation the Home Secretary of the day - initially Sir John Anderson, subsequently Herbert Morrison - was free to detain and imprison as he saw fit anyone against whom evidence of potential disloyalty, untested by legal process, was presented by the security services.

  • Treason, Treachery and Pro-Nazi Activities by the British Ruling Classes During World War Two
    Berkeley Center for Right-Wing Studies Working Paper Series Treason, Treachery and Pro-Nazi Activities by the British Ruling Classes During World War Two by Tim Tate Presented at the Inaugural Conference on Right-Wing Studies April 25-27, 2019 TREASON, TREACHERY AND PRO-NAZI ACTIVITIES BY THE BRITISH RULING CLASSES DURING WORLD WAR TWO. 1 TIM TATE ABSTRACT How deeply did sympathy for German fascism run in the British establishment in World War Two; and to what extent were pro-Hitler members of the British political and military ruling classes willing to betray their country to the Nazi regime and its Axis allies ? Drawing on primary source material contained in previously-classified MI5 and Government files, this paper adduces evidence that, contrary to the conventional history of a country united in opposition to Hitler, right-wing British MPs, Peers and senior figures in the military clandestinely worked – individually and collectively – to hasten a German victory, and to supplant the elected British Government with a pro-Nazi puppet regime. The activities of this ‘Fifth Column’ included espionage, sabotage, unlawful private attempts to broker peace deals between Germany and Britain, sending military and political intelligence to Berlin, and plans to launch armed fascist coups d’état on London’s streets. The Security Service files containing this evidence were withheld from public scrutiny for more than half a century; they were gradually released to the UK National Archives between 2000 and 2017. Together with de-classified files from other departments, they also reveal the eagerness of successive British Governments to protect the leading political, military and society figures who betrayed their country.
