Lex Kaye’s Reviews > A Spy Among Friends: Kim Philby and the Great Betrayal > Status Update

4.5/5 This is the second McIntyre book I read with his first being one of my favorite reads of the last few years. I thought this was a very well told version of events around Philby given the confidential nature of the topic. McIntyre avoids opining on the archaic nature of old school spy recruitment and the damage it had on UK’s security, but the manipulation by Philby is well portrayed and truly shocking
