Toby O'Brien : ウィキペディア英語版 | Toby O'Brien
Edward Donough "Toby" O'Brien (21 November 1909 – 9 January 1979) was an Anglo-Irish journalist and propaganda expert who spearheaded Britain's efforts to counter Nazi Germany propaganda during World War II. ==Early life and education== O'Brien was born on the Baluchistan border in India to Colonel Aubrey O'Brien an Indian Army officer. The O'Brien family is one of the oldest lines of descent in Europe, dating back from much earlier than the Irish High King Brian Boru (941-1014).〔(O'Brien Clan )〕 At the age of five O'Brien was sent to England. Four years later he began attending St Cyprian's School, Eastbourne following his elder brother, Turlough. As his elder brother's initials TOB had given rise to the nickname Toby, he was known as Toby2, leading to subsequent confusion. He became friends with Alaric Jacob, and despite their political differences, O'Brien would refer to Jacob as his oldest friend.〔Alaric Jacob, ''Sharing Orwell's Joys - but not his fears'' (in Christopher Norris's ''Inside the Myth'' (1984)〕 O'Brien won a scholarship as one of the first batch of pupils to newly opened Stowe School and then earned a scholarship to Exeter College, Oxford. Before Oxford he spent a term in Germany at Leipzig. At Oxford University he was President of the Oxford Union in 1932 and took part in a transatlantic debate with Harvard University.〔(Egbert Ray Nichols INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATES THE YEAR BOOK OF COLLEGE DEBATING VOL- XIII (1932) )〕
