Photo illustrations; appears to be unread Fine / Fine. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Masterspy Kim Philby's secret life is a saga more compelling than any spy fiction. Recruited by the Soviet KGB while at Cambridge in the 1930s, he infiltrated the British Secret Intelligence Service, eventually rising to head its anti-Soviet section and serving as liaison officer in Washington with the CIA and FBI. Throughout, he clandestinely transmitted valuable intelligence to his Moscow handlers. Despite being considered for the chief position within the British service, Philby's career was shadowed by suspicion, particularly after the defection of two fellow spies in 1951. Finally, in 1963, he fled himself. Until his death in Moscow in 1988, Philby epitomized Soviet-inspired treachery in the eyes of the West-a scion of privilege who had betrayed the entire free world. Rufina Philby's memoir, featuring interviews by Hayden Peake and an introduction by Michael Lubimov, offers insights into the enigmatic masterspy, shedding light on the depths of his deception.
