Another area of covert American influence has been the world of book and newspaper publishing. Influential newspapers like Le Figaro in France or political magazines like Encounter in Britain have been subsidized by the CIA at different times. As well, authors and journalists who write popular history and political analysis friendly to America have been rewarded financially in order that they keep up their "good work" for the US. One example is John Keegan, an English historian who started his professional life working in the American Embassy in London and has gone on to write a shelf full of Atlanticist military histories. He was a faithful civilian employee at the American Embassy during the Suez Crisis when the US left France and Britain twisting in the wind.
