Page "Douglas Reed" Paragraph 2

According to Reed, he resigned his job in protest against the appeasement of Hitler after the Munich Agreement of 1938.

In Somewhere South of Suez: a further survey of the grand design of the Twentieth Century ( 1949 ), Reed wrote that his resignation came in response to press censorship which prevented him from fully reporting " the facts about Hitler and National Socialism.

" He believed that by becoming a " journalist without a newspaper ," he would be free to write as he chose.

Reed spent the duration of the Second World War in England ; in 1948, he moved to Durban, South Africa.
