In the annals of espionage, one name towers above all others: that of H.A.R. 'Kim' Philby, the ringleader of the legendary Cambridge Five. A member of the British establishment, Philby rose to the head of British Counterintelligence at MI6 and, as the liaison with the CIA and FBI, betrayed every secret of Allied operations to the Soviets -- including the exact place and time of the invasion of Normandy.
Written from Moscow in 1967, My Silent War shook the world and introduced a new archetype in fiction: the unrepentant spy. It inspired John le Carre's Smiley novels and many of the espionage novels of Graham Greene, and has influenced spies and spy catchers around the world, including, most recently, Robert Hanssen. Kim Philby was history's most successful spy. He was also an exceptional writer, who gave us the great iconic story of the Cold War and revolutionized, in the process, the art of espionage writing.
