Memoirs of Kim Philby - a bright, detective, full of British irony story of a Soviet intelligence officer. The principled choice to serve a just world and fight against fascism, made during his years at Cambridge, set an intricate route for Philby's life. Meeting with a Soviet intelligence officer, the war in Spain, the British Secret Intelligence Service, work "against Soviet and communist activities" in the UK and coordination of British intelligence with the CIA and the FBI - the brilliant successes of the most famous member of the Cambridge Five have caused such a deep injury to the Anglo-American intelligence community that it affects up to today.
