Kim Philby and the Cambridge Five. Key Documents and Testimonies
69.99 €
Many books have been written about the legendary “five” of Soviet intelligence officers recruited during their studies at Cambridge University. Some see them as heroes and some as traitors to their generation.
This book is unique in that it was prepared on the basis of archival materials of the SVR of Russia. For the first time, the reader will see dozens of newly declassified original documents handed over by Kim Philby and his friends to the Center. On the eve and during the Second World War, the members of the group transferred to Moscow a huge amount of secret information that allowed to save the lives of tens, and perhaps hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers and brought Victory closer. It is safe to say that in the middle of the twentieth century there was no such important event on which the members of the “five” would not receive valuable information. These are Hitler’s plans to attack the USSR, the battle near Moscow, the Kursk Bulge, the attempts of Hitler’s leaders to conduct separate negotiations behind our country’s back, and the plans of militaristic Japan.
At different times, each of the “Cambridge” was at the forefront of events, but from the point of view of intelligence professionals, its organizational core, invisible guardian angel, reliable support has always been Kim Philby. Photos from his personal archive conclude the 400-page book.
