In the annals of espionage, one name towers above all others: that
of H. A. R. "Kim" Philby, the ringleader of the legendary Cambridge
spies. A member of the British establishment, Philby joined the
Secret Intelligence Service in 1940, rose to the head of Soviet
counterintelligence, and, as M16's liaison with the CIA and the
FBI, betrayed every secret of Allied operations to the Russians,
fatally compromising covert actions to roll back the Iron Curtain
in the early years of the Cold War. 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 the later espionage novels of Graham Greene. 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.
