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

Philby is a weird man to read about, it’s undeniably awesome to see him manipulate Mi6 (even to become head of a new section to counter soviet spies, while being a soviet double agent) but it’s so sad he betrayed his friends.

And then it’s darkly fascinating to read about how the intelligence he steals for the soviets leads to innocent people’s death.
