The gal this guy had to not only spy for Russia but to include his family is disgusting

I very intriguing and a pleasure to read. Keeps you engaged from the first page.

Throughly engrossing read. Makes one wonder if our present intelligent community is still running on pink gin and dirty jokes.

In this enthralling narrative depicting the almost ethereal, Judas-like dance of Kim Philby, the author weaves a magnificent web, akin to the one Philby himself wove, that will surely ensnare you. A masterclass in historical storytelling that simultaneously vindicates Nicolas Elliot and offers an unbiased view at the greatest intelligence story in modern history. This book should be read by anyone with even a passing interest in espionage or the intricacies of the Cold War. Absolutely brilliant.

I knew nothing of Kim Philby before reading this book, so the book was very informative on this world class spy and his close relationships with CIA & British Intelligence figures. It is hard to believe he got away with what he did so the story itself is fascinating. My one major complaint is that there are so many names in a 300+ page book your head will spin!...EAF

A very interesting recount of the beginning and the depths of the Cold War
