Secrets & Lies in the United Kingdom: Analysis of Political Corruption (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781633915930)

Secrets & Lies in the United Kingdom: Analysis of Political Corruption lifts the shroud of secrecy in the United Kingdom in relation to modern freemasonry in Scotland in the late-18th century, the 'Stolen Generations' in Australia from the early 1900s to the late 1970s, Enoch Powell's motives for resigning, Britain's secret plan for a nuclear power station in Wales, intentional and unintentional disclosures of secret information about the Liberal Democrats and their rivals, the 'culture of secrecy' of English police forces, and the paradoxical co-existence of secrecy and transparency in the English justice system.
