This article focuses on three activities of an anti-communist propaganda unit hidden within the British Foreign Office. Titled the Information Research Department, its initial strategy was to target influential elites and opinion makers, both local and international, whose words would encourage listeners and readers to look to London, not Moscow, for moral and ideological leadership. The article examines the IRD's attempts to construct a new Cold War lexicography, to manipulate the use of a Soviet defector for propaganda leverage, and to use sporting teams infiltrated by young Tories as propaganda tools in the East.
