About John Baker White

John Baker White started his career as a Conservative political activist and became a very early member of the British Fascists. He undertook undercover operations for Sir George Makgill's Industrial Intelligence Bureau on behalf of MI5. By 1926, he worked for the Economic League, an industry-sponsored organization committed to undermine left wing militancy. By 1931, he became director of the League. He joined a territorial regiment as an officer immediately before World War II, from where he was recruited to Military Intelligence as a propaganda specialist. In 1945, he was elected a Conservative politician. He was also a journalist and author and his work reveals a colourful, possibly, eccentric personality. His autobiographical writing makes him an important, though never completely reliable, witness to UK parapolitical circles in which he was involved for seventy years.
