About This Item
Garden City, New York: Doubleday and Company, 1968. Book of the Month Club. hardcover. Book VG+: clean, square, tight, unmarked/DJ VG-: offset to front cover, age toning, mild corner and edge wear, NOT clipped.. 8vo 300pp. BOMC edition. from front flap: "A spy novelist, at the peak of his imaginative powers, would scarcely dare to invent the story contained in these extraordinary pages. That a son of the British establishment could, during a thirty year career in his country's secret service, at the same time be a dedicated Communist agent would seem too far-fetched even for fiction. And yet, Kim Philby, like those other two almost unbelievable spies, Burgess and Maclean, is real and his story is true. He was a Communist agent. He did penetrate the British secret service so effectively that in 1944 he became the director of its counter-Soviet department--a feat of duplicity unequalled in the annals of espionage." #02389.
