Churchill's Man of Mystery Desmond Morton & the World of Intelligence ex FO librarian Gill Bennett

Churchill’s Man of Mystery Desmond Morton and the World of Intelligence by ex FO librarian Gill Bennett This week we hear from former Foreign Office historian Gill Bennett who had access to the secret archive of MI6, Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service. Her book, Desmond Morton Winston Churchill’s Man of Mystery, is the most detailed account so far of Winston Churchill’s personal assistant and clandestine Intelligence officer Desmond Morton. Gill explains his background and how he lived at Earlylands on Main Road the B2026 south of Crockham Hill, just a short walk from Winston Churchill’s own home, Chartwell, near Westerham in Kent. Gill does not believe that Winston Churchill was a Freemason but evidence suggests otherwise. Morton was also involved after the war in the important role of Britain s representative on the Tripartite commission looking into the whereabouts of Nazi Gold.
