	Brendan Bracken, 1st Viscount Bracken - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brendan Bracken (1901 - 1958) was an Irish-born British Conservative cabinet minister.
		When Bracken arrived in Britain in 1920 he claimed alternately to be either Australian who had lost his parents in a bush fire, or a member of the Anglo-Irish Protestant ascendancy, which was also untrue.
		In 1945 Bracken was briefly made First Lord of the Admiralty but lost the post in the fall of the Churchill government to Clement Atlee's Labour Party.

	Brendan Bracken: The Fantasist Whose Dreams Came True - The Churchill Centre
		Noticing Bracken's extraordinary influence with Churchill, people began to ask, "Who is he?" So emerged the clinging rumour that Bracken was Churchill's natural son, fanned, perhaps, by reports that Bracken was exhibiting Churchill family photographs in the flat he had taken in Mayfair.
		Early in 1929 Bracken got himself adopted as Conservative candidate for North Paddington and was returned to the House of Commons at the General Election later that year which brought Labour to power.
		Bracken refused ministerial office, preferring to remain close to Churchill, who overrode the opposition of the King and had Bracken made a member of the Privy Council.

	'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp' reconsidered.By James Chapman
		Beddington and Brendan Bracken were probably laughing like hell in their offices, but they had to do what they were told and follow the policy of the War Office and the Cabinet.
		Finally, in discussing the "unusual and lengthy correspondence" between Churchill and Bracken, Pronay and Croft make their least tenable claim: "Brendan Bracken was not in the habit of writing extended memoranda to Churchill, in whose living room he habitually slept" [56].
		Bracken realised that the exercise of censorship in a democracy was subject to certain political considerations which would have made it very unwise to proceed in the manner which Churchill advocated.
