From Admiral To Cabin Boy

A first-hand account of imprisonment without trial under Britain's notorious World War II-era "Section 18b" regulation, written by the Admiral Sir Barry Edward Domvile, the highest ranking British armed forces officer to be detained for seeking friendship with Germany and opposing the outbreak of the war. This book, first published in 1947, starts with a short biographical review before moving on to a geopolitical assessment of Britain's overseas possessions. The author then discusses his efforts to create peace with Germany through his "The Link" organization, and how these efforts led to his arrest and detention in Brixton Prison for three years from 1940 to 1943. Along the way, Domvile reviews what he saw as the major force behind the war: a Judeo-Masonic conspiracy which he called "Judmas," which he said, "has wielded such a baneful influence in world history"-although he stated that most Freemasons were completely unaware of the plot. Detained in a cell next door to Sir Oswald Mosley, Domvile provides a fascinating insight into the conditions and arbitrary nature of the arrest procedure, which was carried out without evidence, court proceedings, or any evidence being supplied.
