A SPY AMONG FRIENDS: KIM PHILBY AND THE GREAT BETRAYAL
Book ID/图书代码: 04300014B68112
English Summary/英文概要: Kim Philby was the most notorious British defector and Soviet mole in history. Agent, double agent, traitor and enigma, he betrayed every secret of Allied operations to the Russians in the early years of the Cold War.
Philby’s two closest friends in the intelligence world, Nicholas Elliott of MI6 and James Jesus Angleton, the CIA intelligence chief, thought they knew Philby better than anyone, and then discovered they had not known him at all. This is a story of intimate duplicity; of loyalty, trust and treachery, class and conscience; of an ideological battle waged by men with cut-glass accents and well-made suits in the comfortable clubs and restaurants of London and Washington; of male friendships forged, and then systematically betrayed.
With access to newly released MI5 files and previously unseen family papers, and with the cooperation of former officers of MI6 and the CIA, this definitive biography unlocks what is perhaps the last great secret of the Cold War.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: Kim Philby曾经是历史上最声名狼藉的间谍,同时为英国和苏维埃工作。他是一个特工,双面间谍,叛徒,一个谜。冷战初期,他在将联合行动的每个情报发送给前苏联。
在情报界中,Philby的两个亲密朋友,军情六处的Nicholas Elliott和中情局情报负责人James Jesus Angleton都认为他们是最了解Philby的。但他们其实从未真正了解过他。这是一篇有关于知己间的口是心非;关于忠诚,信任和背叛;关于阶级意识;一个由有着高音和西装笔挺的男人在舒适的俱乐部和伦敦,华盛顿的饭店里所进行的意识形态的战争;关于虚伪的男人间的友情和有目的的背叛的故事。
随着进一步查阅军情五处新解锁的文档和未公开的私人家书,还有在军情六处和美国中情局前任官员的帮助下,这个可以被称作是冷战时期最大秘密的权威性传记向民众公开了。(LNL)
