About this title

Synopsis

It could be the lurid plot of a bestselling thriller... yet in The Wilson Plot leasing investigative journalist David Leigh reveals the full true story behind the extraordinary conspiracy first hinted at by Peter Wright. Drawing on Wright's own private confessions and unpublished correspondence, on the recollections of MI5 and MI6 officers, and on the testimony of former FBI and CIA members, Leigh explores how Wright himself and CIA chief James Angleton led a bizzare campaign against Labour Prime Minster Harold Wilson, his government, advisers and friends.
