The Cameo by Cecil Humphery-Smith

Thursday 1st November 2012

We would like to congratulate our founder on his recent publication - The Cameo.

The work is based on his experiences during the time he was working in Italy in the 1950's and 60's, since when he has seen considerable changes. The bustling city of Naples was recovering from the devastation of WWII.The post-war drug trafficking had begun in earnest. Some of these criminals had the reputation of helping the poor, but all were involved in smuggling, prostitution and misappropriation of funds and medical suppliers from relief agencies. Murders were a daily happening perpetrated by the gangs at warfare with each other, and each anxious to exploit the spoils of War and Peace.

The Cameo can be purchased through the Institute's bookshop.
