A Spy Among Friends. The Great Betrayal of Kim Philby
14.99 €
Kim Philby is one of the most famous spies of the 20th century, and much has been written about him. However, the investigation of British writer-historian Ben MacIntyre, based, among other things, on unpublished archival materials, brings us closer than ever to this unique personality. The damage done by Philby's clandestine activities to two nations, Great Britain and the United States, might have been far less if it had not been for a strong male friendship based on traditional English ideals of personal loyalty and the honor of a gentleman. Nicholas Elliott of MI6 and James Angleton of the CIA blindly trusted their friend Kim and walled for him until it was too late. McIntyre shows how high treason, decades old through the filter of private human betrayal, turned Kim Philby's life into a psychological thriller of unprecedented power.
