About the book

This biography re-examines the crucial early years of Philby's work as a Soviet agent and British intelligence officer using documents from the United Kingdom National Archives, along with private papers. The book shows how Philby established an early pattern of deceit and betrayed his father, Harry St John Bridger Philby. But it also demonstrates how in all the major decisions, Philby slavishly sought to emulate his father. The book also suggests that Philby was never wholly trusted by the Soviet secret service.
