  • A Rumour Exists Among Cambridge Students
    A rumour exists among Cambridge students – that they may be discretely and mysteriously tapped on the shoulder during their time there, meaning they have been invited to become a spy. It’s difficult to determine if this is still true; presumably the new spies would be too secretive to let it slip. But many students live in hope for the day they will become the next James Bond. Cambridge has a long-running association with secret intelligence, which has helped, and hindered, Britain through times of war and peace. Reach Cambridge students live and learn in the same university that has been home to many infamous spies – not bad for a residential summer school! We’ll take a look at some of the most famous spies associated with the city. Christopher Marlowe Marlowe is more widely known as a famous playwright, with some suggesting that he is the true author of Shakespeare’s plays. He studied at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and it is alleged that it was during this time that he was recruited to be a spy. Elizabeth I presided over the first British Secret Services, used during her reign to gather intelligence against Catholics. Some evidence that Marlowe was involved in these activities is that he left Cambridge for long stretches of time that the university would usually not allow, and when he was in college, he bought much more food and drink than he would have been able to afford on his scholarship money alone. It was apparently the extra money he earned from being a government spy throughout his life which supplemented his income, allowing him to continue writing.

  • British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964 William Styles Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge September 2016 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy William Styles British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964 This thesis is concerned with an analysis of British governmental attitudes and responses to communism in the United Kingdom during the early years of the Cold War, from the election of the Attlee government in July 1945 up until the election of the Wilson government in October 1964. Until recently the topic has been difficult to assess accurately, due to the scarcity of available original source material. However, as a result of multiple declassifications of both Cabinet Office and Security Service files over the past five years it is now possible to analyse the subject in greater depth and detail than had been previously feasible. The work is predominantly concerned with four key areas: firstly, why domestic communism continued to be viewed as a significant threat by successive governments – even despite both the ideology’s relatively limited popular support amongst the general public and Whitehall’s realisation that the Communist Party of Great Britain presented little by way of a direct challenge to British political stability. Secondly, how Whitehall’s understanding of the nature and severity of the threat posed by British communism developed between the late 1940s and early ‘60s, from a problem considered mainly of importance only to civil service security practices to one which directly impacted upon the conduct of educational policy and labour relations.

  • This Is an Accepted Manuscript of an Article Published by Taylor
    This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television on 17/08/17, available online: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01439685.2017.1331630 THIS FILM IS RESTRICTED: THE TRAINING FILMS OF THE BRITISH SECURITY SERVICE Dr Shane O’Sullivan (Kingston University) School of Performance and Screen Studies Penrhyn Road Kingston upon Thames Surrey KT1 2EE Tel: 020 8417 9000 ext: 67091 Mob: 07931 107944 email: [email protected] Abstract In 1962, following a series of spy scandals, the Security Service and the Central Office of Information (COI) created a security education campaign to raise awareness of the Soviet espionage threat to state and industrial secrets, and to provide security training for military and civilian personnel handling classified material. Several instructional films were commissioned, using fictional scenarios to dramatize the Cold War threat to security personnel. This paper will examine four of these declassified and highly inventive films – It Can’t Happen to Me (1962), Persona Non Grata (1964) and The Lecture (1968), produced by James Carr’s World Wide Pictures; and Any One of Us (1970), directed by Seafield Head for Verity Films. Drawing on COI production files at the National Archives and the films themselves, I explore the making and underlying message of these long-neglected and highly stylized pieces of Cold War propaganda; how they anticipate key texts of the sixties spy genre like The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965); and how they compare to American security education films from the same period.

  • Characterizing Kim Philby
    CHARACTERIZING KIM PHILBY by Elizabeth Campbell B.A. May 2005, Vanderbilt University A Thesis submitted to The Faculty of Columbian College of Arts and Sciences of The George Washington University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts May 16, 2010 Thesis directed by Ronald Spector Professor of History To my parents, for their love and financial support ♥♥♥♥♥ ii Abstract Characterizing Kim Philby Harold “Kim” Philby was a double agent in the counter-espionage unit of the British Secret Service during the 1940’s and 50’s. For many years he evaded discovery, passing valuable intelligence over to his Soviet controllers in Moscow. Eventually British officials uncovered Philby’s treasonous activities. He took refuge behind the Iron Curtain, fleeing to Moscow in 1963. But Philby was not to be disposed of so easily. He wrote an autobiography, inspiring the scrutiny of historians, journalists, and popular novelists, who in turn wrote their own versions of the Philby affair. In the midst of the clandestine world of the Cold War, Philby’s exploits thrilled and terrified audiences all over the world. Kim Philby became a cult figure, and soon it was impossible to separate the person from the image. To many, including his bewildered colleagues in the Secret Service, Kim Philby became a chameleon, an impenetrable façade. Novelists like John le Carré and Graham Greene also tried to “crack the code” of Kim Philby, to divorce the man from the myth. His story became a part of their stories: the double agent in Greene’s The Human Factor , and le Carré’s Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy are based on Philby.
