Was Ian Milner a Spy? A Review of the Evidence

Abstract

A recent re-reading of James McNeish’s Dance of the Peacocks, and in particular his views on Ian Milner, has prompted some research on what others have said about Milner, particularly as to whether or not he was a spy. The outcome is that despite the existence of sufficient evidence showing that Milner was indeed a spy, McNeish and others decline to accept the fact. As the evidence emerged at various times and places over the last ten years, it is best to deal with the various issues chronologically.
