None

Diego Garcia
A collaborative fiction about grief, friendship, and how to tell stories that are not yours to tell.
Diego Garcia
In one of the most shameful episodes in British post-war history, the government expelled the 1,500 islanders of the tiny Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia and handed it over lock stock and barrel to the US military. The Pentagon wanted a base in the Indian Ocean and Diego Garcia fitted the bill. In a series of expulsions between 1967 and 1973, the islanders were dumped on the harbour at Mauritius 1,200 miles south of their homes and left to rebuild their shattered lives. Neil Tweedie, a senior writer with the Daily Telegraph, has followed their attempts to regain control of their island through the courts, where judgements in their favour have been persistently blocked by the British government at the behest of the Americans. Recently, foreign secretary, David Miliband, was forced to admit that, with British government collusion, the US had rendered terrorism suspects through Diego Garcia. Using a series of interviews with the islanders themselves, Tweedie examines the whole sorry story.

Diego Garcia
Diego Garcia is about the Navy's need for secure communications in the Indian Ocean area, and who and how this need was fulfilled. The establishment of a classified radio station on the island of Diego Garcia in the Chagos Archipelago precipitated considerable national and international debate during the Cold War. How Diego Garcia became the linchpin of United States strategy in the Indian Ocean and Southwest Asia illustrates the complexities and difficulties that a democracy faces whenever it addresses national security issues. During the early 1970's, as British presence East of Suez was being withdrawn, India led an effort to establish a Zone of Peace, and the dependence on Middle East oil required the United States to establish an Indian Ocean presence effectively and unobtrusively. Diego Garcia fills in a 25 year gap in the history of this base, and those who made it possible.
