This document is also often referred to as “The BSC Papers,” particularly before their initial publication by St. Ermin’s Press.

A history of the document, according to Tim Naftali, and Nigel West, the publication’s editor: H. Montgomery Hyde (whom West identifies in the “Introduction” to the  book British Security Coordination as Madame Brousse’s case worker, and who would later go on to write a biography of her life) wrote the first 200-page Report on British Security Coordination in the United States of America, on the order of William S. Stephenson, BDS’s director. Subsequently, the Hyde document was developed  – on Stephenson’s orders — by Gilbert Highet as the official record of BSC. Highet’s effort was rejected by Stephenson as too dry and academic, according to West. Subsequently, author Roald Dahl and trade journalist Tom Hill worked together at Camp X on the Highet draft, but Dahl soon left the project. According to Nigel West, Hill completed the project in summer of 1945 and Giles Playfair was brought in to do editing. It was this final Playfair version that became the “BSC Papers” and subsequently the book, British Security Coordination: The Secret History of British Intelligence in the Americas 1940-1945 (Boston: Little, Brown, 1998),
