Michael Oakeshott
Professor Michael Oakeshott has been widely praised as one of the greatest political thinkers of the Twentieth Century. Much of his work has been read and analysed by generations of scholars, however his service during the Second World War in GHQ Liaison Regiment has been strangely neglected. Indeed it has not been clear what he did within the unit.
In this book, using interviews, memoirs, records held at the London School of Economics and The National Archives at Kew, the reader will find out more about his war service. This book is the first attempt to write solely about Captain Oakeshott’s service in GHQ Liaison Regiment during the Second World War.
The unit was a specialist but unique unit whose usual role was the reporting of the progress of the battle to the Commander-in-Chief. GHQ Liaison Regiment was better known by the codename ‘Phantom’.
