Ben Oakley

Ben Oakley is a nom de plume; a necessary obscurity for a researcher whose methods tread where institutions prefer silence.

Fifteen years in archival work; intelligence documentation, then forensic historiography. A European fellowship ended abruptly in 2009 following disputes over source access and ethical boundaries. What followed was a decade of private research, examining criminal cases that official narratives have quietly erased.

His series represents a fraction of that work: cases selected for what they reveal about justice, memory, and institutional denial. Each volume researched without academic or editorial constraint.

Writing since 2009. Living since 1970. The work continues. The archive grows. The name remains a shield.
