This text is a critical analysis of the poet Rupert Brooke, arguing that his life and death were likely staged by intelligence agencies. The author, Miles Mathis, posits that Brooke was recruited due to his looks and social connections, similar to Digby Dolben and Denny Fouts. The article highlights several “red flags” surrounding Brooke’s life, including his involvement with groups like the Apostles and Fabian Society, his rumored homosexuality, and the suspicious deaths of his brothers.

Mathis particularly scrutinizes Brooke’s purported death from a mosquito bite while en route to Gallipoli, questioning the decision to bury him on the island of Skyros rather than shipping his body back to England. The author also criticizes Brooke’s pro-war poems, such as “Peace” and “Death,” deeming them simplistic and propagandistic, designed to manipulate a “gullible and tasteless public.” Mathis concludes that Brooke, like others discussed, was a manufactured figure, propped up by shadowy organizations and allowed to avoid active combat through a fabricated death.
