Disclosure

The British police thought it could use and discard Kate Wilson, but it messed with the wrong woman. Her courage, determination, clarity and insistence on justice are absolutely awe-inspiring – Oliver Bullough, author of BUTLER TO THE WORLDDisclosure gives us some of the deepest insights yet into the inner workings of Britain’s secret political police. It is a gripping, very personal but highly measured, account of shocking police oppression and corruption, deployed against people trying to make the world a better place. The book demonstrates how campaigners have bravely and meticulously exposed the undercover units which since 1968 have targeted over 1,000 mainly progressive and left wing campaign groups. Movements for much needed change continue to be supported by millions of members of the public, and cannot be suppressed. They are not only essential if humanity is to progress, but are in fact on the right side of history - unlike those who have now been forced to apologise for the spying – Dave Morris, the McLibel TwoThis story of the betrayal of a brave eco-activist is a searing page-turner. The criminalisation of Kate Wilson and her fellow campaigners was truly shameful. Disclosure firmly places the British police on the wrong side of history – Peter Hain, former Secretary of State for Northern Ireland

Kate Wilson is a life-long campaigner and now works as a nurse. Her landmark victory in the trial ‘Wilson v the Commissioner’ established that the British undercover police operations targeting her movements were unlawful and unnecessary in a democratic society, and consistently violated basic human and political rights.
