East-West Digest
The East-West Digest was produced by the anti-communist Dudley Geoffrey Stewart-Smith as the journal of his Foreign Affairs Circle. It was distributed free to MPs.[1]
According to Lobster magazine, the Digest was published by Stewart-Smith's Foreign Affairs Publishing Company, which also acted as a distributor for material for much of the British right.[2]
Lobster reports that the Digest "mostly consisted of large chunks of blind (authorless), extremely detailed, apparently pretty accurate material on the British Left: reports on meetings and conferences; documents and journals analysed."[3]
