One of the most prominent
names in modern US
history, the man who
founded the FBI, remained
its director for 37 years and
around whom conspiracies
still swirl, is the subject of
this fascinating profile by
Emily Maitlis, above.
Hoover turned the FBI from
a bureaucratic backwater
into a crime-fighting and
counterintelligence force. In
the process he became,
arguably, America’s most
powerful man. In this eight-
part series Maitlis examines
whether modern fears of a
“deep state’’ — of
unaccountable officials
working against the public
in their own interest — can
be traced back to him.our tv newsletter

here have been several
documentaries to mark the
40th anniversary of the
Falklands conflict and some
have been excellent. But
wow, Our Falklands War: A Frontline
Story, two years in the making, was
exceptional. It was breathtaking,
humbling, honest and surprising,
and I say this as someone who has
watched umpteen hours of Falklands
stuff lately.
It was not a military overview of
the conflict, but a drilling-down,
giving voice to ten soldiers, some of
whom had never spoken about theirexperiences before, not even to their
wives. They let their violent memories
and post-traumatic stress disorder
bleed on to the screen in a way that
was unexpected and at times intimate.
It was part confessional, part catharsis,
part horror flick.
Robert Lawrence, from the Scots
Guards, recounted sticking his bayonet
into a young Argentinian’s arm to test
if he was alive. The Argentinian spun
round and snapped the tip off it. “I
killed him. With a broken bayonet,” he
said. Just before this the soldier had
spoken to him “in English”. What did
he say? “Please,” Lawrence replied.
Chris Waddington, of the 2nd
Battalion Parachute Regiment, who
was 19 when he was sent to war, also
had to use his bayonet to kill a soldier.
“I remember the smell,” he said. “He
defecated as he was dying.” Another
soldier told how he was forced to
head-butt a soldier repeatedly “until
he was no longer a threat”.
Here, men with quiet, ordinary
voices revealed the raw savagery of
war. “People ask me, ‘What was it like
in the Falklands?’ ” said Nigel “Spud”
Ely, also from 2 Para. “Now I’ve served
in the SAS, in Afghanistan, Kuwait,
Iraq, Africa, and nothing can compare
to what we did at Goose Green.”
Imagine how psychologically
damaged you must be if, on coming
home, you build a trench in your
mother’s back garden because it feelssafer to live outside. Michael Iddon,
who was on board the Sir Galahad
when it was hit by an Argentine
strike and became trapped in a
smoke-filled corridor, could no
longer bear to be indoors, so spent
“months” on the lawn.
The most astonishing story was that
of Chris White and Kevin Woodford,
both Royal Marine Commandos
aboard the Sir Galahad. Woodford lost
his leg in the horrific blast and
although White tried to move him, he
kept passing out through lack of
oxygen as the flames approached.
White said he had to leave;
Woodford squeezed his shoulder. He
told his rescuers, “There’s a guy in
there,” but assumed that Woodford
had died. Deeply ashamed, he seized
a .45 automatic pistol and went to
the stern of the ship to blow his
brains out.
“I left a man to die,” White said. He
couldn’t live with that. Yet someone
had seen him and the weapon was
confiscated. It was then that the padre
told him, to his astonishment, that
Woodford was alive. “[Kevin] saved my
life,” White said. “By not dying.”
You could see that these men had an
extremely complex relationship with
this conflict: it was hideous, but it
defined them, was part of them. “It
was a dirty wet horrible stinking war,”
Ely said. Did he enjoy being there?
“Yes,” he replied. Outstanding TV.Ordinary voices reveal the raw savagery of war
