The Albanian Operation, carried out by British and American secret
services from 1949 to 1953, was one of the first Western attempts
to subvert a country behind the Iron Curtain. The British liaison
officer for the project in Washington was Kim Philby, a Soviet
double agent who sabotaged the whole venture. In all, about 300
agents and civilians are thought to have been killed in the
disastrous operation. The story was first pieced together by
Nicholas Bethell in his 1984 book The Great Betrayal: The Untold
Story of Kim Philby's Biggest Coup, based on interviews and
conversations with British and American officials and Albanian
fighters who infiltrated the Stalinist Albanian regime and escaped
alive. The present work presents the interviews throws new light on
what actually took place.
