John Ware, Former BBC Correspondent – In Conversation: A London Book Launch

Former BBC Correspondent John Ware will be In Conversation with Author and JournalistPhilip Stephens about his new book “NEITHER CONFIRM NOR DENY - British Intelligence, Lawless Agent Running and the Suppression of Truth”.

In this startling new book, award-winning former BBC journalist John Ware examines the hidden moral and legal compromises at the heart of the British state’s war against political violence during the Northern Ireland conflict. With major new revelations, Neither Confirm Nor Deny tells the inside story of two of the most notorious agents ever run by the state – Brian Nelson and Freddie Scappaticci – and the deadly consequences of prioritising intelligence gathering over criminal justice, and sometimes even human life. Drawing on first-hand experience, previously undisclosed evidence and decades of reporting, the book exposes how agents implicated in murder operated beyond the law while governments and

intelligence agencies worked to conceal the truth.
