«Red List reintroduces us to lost generations of artists and writers, many of whom opposed imperial wars and British colonialism in India but disappeared into the annals of history - perhaps due to MI5 influence... [Caute] exemplifies how capitalist superpowers can control their own history and the legacy of radical art.»

Billy Anania, Hyperallergic

«An exceptional and seminal work of impeccable scholarship and exhaustive research.»

The Midwest Book Review

«[Red List] provides a wealth of information about left-wing British intellectuals and artists in the postwar era.»

Richard J. Evans, The Nation

«Red List is a lucidly written account of MI5's surveillance of [Caute's] country's intelligentsia.»

Shepherd Express

«Caute has pieced together an extensive history of MI5 surveillance across the twentieth century...Red List demonstrates that the function of the security state is to foreclose political possibilities before they pose any direct threat to the established order, often ruining countless lives in the process.»
