'James Hanning's book is excellent . . . The fascination of Love
& Deception lies in the meticulously detailed account it gives
of Philby's strange half-life in Beirut, where he was banished in
1956' Guardian Love & Deception is the extraordinary story of
how Eleanor, an able, cultured American living in the espionage hot
spot of 1950s Beirut, fell in love with the kindest of men. Unknown
to her, that man, Kim Philby, was under suspicion by the British
and US intelligence services of having secretly signed up to help
the Russians fight fascism in the 1930s, and of remaining in their
pay at the height of the Cold War. Despite his mysterious past,
Eleanor adored and married Philby, but the strength of their love
was challenged as the net steadily closed in on him. The outline of
Philby's story is familiar to many, but Love & Deception breaks
remarkable new ground. Through extensive research, Hanning produces
an eye-opening tale of friendship, politics, love and loyalty.
'Fascinating and superbly researched' TLS 'I am always gripped by
the Philby story and James Hanning succeeds in putting new flesh on
this fascinating period in his double life . . . I thoroughly
recommend it' Marina Hyde 'If ever there was a cautionary tale
about the true costs of male privilege in the higher echelons of
the British establishment - this is it' Amanda Foreman
