Description: | How Kim Philby, master-spy and double agent, became the mentor of CIA boss James Angleton, then his mortal enemy, in the Second World War and Cold War. Kim Philby''s life and career has inspired an entire literary genre: the spy novel of betrayal. He was one of the leaders of the British counter-intelligence efforts, first against the Nazis, then against the Soviet Union. He was also the KGB''s most valuable double-agent, so highly regarded that today his image is on the postage stamps of the Russian Federation. |
