When Carroll Quigley did his research for his Tragedy and Hope, a history of the world in modern times, he did the research at Oxford but cited no sources, a fact noted by at least one or two reviewers when the book was released. Though Quigley would later deny there was any conspiracy, his discussion of various events seem to suggest otherwise. Cleon Skousen's The Naked Capitalist, a review of Tragedy and Hope provided some light on the subject, but many other sources tend to confirm the thesis that there really is such a thing and people pay a price for discussing it. Did Lewis lose his position at Oxford for having mentioned a real conspirator by name, if Rhodes was such?
