This documentary paper is the result of a 4-year study of new, unsecured and unknown documents in the British Archives about the activity of the 20th Century Spy Kim Filbby.
These materials, along with the memories of his students and his wife interviewed specifically for the book, as well as the stories of people who knew him, reveal an absolutely unknown Philby. A man who has nothing to do with the one he wanted to think he is. Perhaps because his credo is that the enemy should not be facilitated by giving even minimal information.
The in-depth study of new documents and first-person stories of people who knew him well turned out to be a trusted key to the sophisticated Phillips puzzle. It seems as if this mystery-man is passing through certain jokers in hopes of lifting the curtain and finding out what he actually fought for. Was he really loyal to Moscow, or had he just played the role of manipulating the Kremlin and the KGB more easily?
Why is he so devoted years to Soviet intelligence when he knows that he is being liquidated one after another by his leaders? Which de facto transmits it and thus ceases his career. Does not that hinder his lifting as MI6 boss? Why has Philby been loyal to Moscow, ruining the brutal communist idea in which he sincerely believed? Why did he, his friend Victor Rothschild and the group around them manipulate at once all leading politicians in Europe and the US and their intelligence - from Hitler and Stalin to Churchill, Roosevelt, Truman and a whole series of British prime ministers and ministers? All these answers
you will find in this book. With papers and precise first-person quotations from many people who personally knew the Spy of the Twentieth Century.
