Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition.Philby. Previous owners name and date written neatly to inside cover. Foxing to edge. Wear and tear to D/J. Introduction by John Le Carre. The true story of Kim Philby is so fantastic that a spy-noevlist would scarcely dare to invent it. A Soviet agent from his early twenties, his penetration of the British secret service was so effective that in 1944 he became the director of its conter-Soviet department - a feat of duplicity unequalled in the annals of espionage. He then became the link-man between the British service and the American Central Intellegence Agency, from which position he was able to betray every important secret of Western intelligence. This book tells for the first time in detail how Philby penetrated the British secret service and rose to be its favourite son; of the operations he betrayed and the agents he sent to their deaths; how his cover was broken when he had to protect Donald Maclean - whose atomic espionage is here exposed for the first time in detail - and the amazing sequel in which Philby was secretly 'tried', cleared, and re-employed by the secret service. Not until 1961, ten years after the vital evidence came into their hands, did the men at the head of the secret world finally acknowledge the bitter facts of Philby's treachery.
