Philby: The Spy who Betrayed a Generation

Bruce Page - David Leitch - Phillip Knightley

Introduction by John Le Carre

First Edition 1968 - Ex-Library Book

The true story of Kim Philby is so fantastic that a spy novelist 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 counter-Soviet Division - a feat described at the time as duplicity unequalled in the annals of espionage.  This book, published in the late 1960's was one of the first publications to detail how Philby penetrated the Secret Service and rose to be its favourite son.
