York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, and The Economist were consulted. International
press interest in the conflict was dominantly noticeable following the stoning of
Lloyd’s car and the subsequent events.
Rare interviews and articles on the Movement and its personalities were also
inspected from modern Bahraini out-of-print or existing newspapers post the 1950s
that were collected personally or were available at the ICC or in the Abdullah Al-
Zayed House for Bahraini Press Heritage and Extension in Bahrain. In relation to
the court hearings on the exiled members of the Movement in St Helena, available
information was viewed from the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for
England and Wales, the British and Irish Legal Information Institute, and FO and
Colonial Office (CO) papers at TNA. The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting’s
papers included detailed information on the proceedings themselves. The FO’s
papers concentrated mostly on the political aspect of the case and the CO’s papers
focused mostly on details of the proceedgins, with repeated information on the
Movement’s background, arrests in Bahrain, and deportation to St Helena.
Additionally the CO’s papers included affidavits for witnesses related to the case.
Correspondences among Western policy makers were also investigated
either through TNA’s archives or from published ones, such as The Churchill-
Eisenhower Correspondence, 1953-1955 and The Eden-Eisenhower Correspondence,
1955-1957. Finally, republished government documents from the British Documents
of the End of Empire Project (BDEEP) were also examined vis-à-vis British policy and
activities in the region during the period under review. Other documents relating to
regional events and policy were also searched at TNA. Additional republished
