Orwell was a British police officer in Myanmar, crushing independence movements and worker organizations, during the early parts of his career.

He wrote these books from lived experience. As propaganda tools to antagonize against the USSR, they were brilliant expressions of the very Doublespeak his most famous book coined. Using fear of the foreigner to rally people into the Two Minute Hate sessions he ostensibly pillared.
