Description
Kim Philby's life was marked by a complex web of loyalty and betrayal. As one of the leaders of British counter-intelligence efforts against Nazi Germany and later the Soviet Union, he became the KGB's most valuable double-agent. This dual allegiance would have far-reaching consequences for the Cold War and US-Soviet relations. Philby's relationship with James Angleton, a CIA counter-intelligence chief, was particularly significant. Their friendship lasted six years before turning into a bitter rivalry that spanned decades. The story of their intertwined careers is one of intrigue, deception, and personal relationships that shaped the course of modern history. This book explores the dramatic events that unfolded in London, Washington DC, Rome, and Istanbul, revealing the intricate details of Philby's betrayal and its impact on global politics.
