Customer Reviews

Will the real Kim Philby please stand up?

Ben Macintyre writes more than just a biography. It is an in-depth a-n-a-l-y-s-i-s of why Philby became a Russian agent and his relationship with fellow spy Nicholas Elliot. This book will miss the mark for most spy fiction readers. However, it is excellent for those who are interested in the real thing. People who find this book interesting may like “Ace of Spies: The True Story of Sidney Reilly (Revealing History)” Also, there is a movie that uses this book for inspiration. “Reilly - Ace of Spies” ~ Sam Neill.
