Donald Maclean was a star diplomat, an establishment insider and a
keeper of some of the West's greatest secrets. He was also a
Russian spy... Codenamed 'Orphan' by his Russian recruiter, Maclean
was Britain's most gifted traitor. But as he leaked huge amounts of
top-secret intelligence, an international code-breaking operation
was rapidly closing in on him. Moments before he was unmasked,
Maclean escaped to Moscow. Drawing on a wealth of previously
classified material, A Spy Named Orphan now tells this story for
the first time in full, revealing the character and devastating
impact of perhaps the most dangerous Soviet agent of the twentieth
century. 'Superb' William Boyd 'Fascinating... An exceptional story
of espionage and betrayal, thrillingly told' Philippe Sands 'A
cracking story... Impressively researched' Sunday Times 'Philipps
makes the story and the slow uncovering of [Maclean's] treachery a
gripping narrative' Alan Bennett
