Philby was a brilliant and charming man who rose to head Britain's counterintelligence against the Soviet Union. Together with Elliott and Angleton he stood on the front lines of the Cold War, holding Communism at bay. But he was secretly betraying them both: He was working for the Russians the entire time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEvery word uttered in confidence to Philby made its way to Moscow, sinking almost every important Anglo-American spy operation for twenty years and costing hundreds of lives.

In \u003ci\u003eA Spy Among Friends\u003c\/i\u003e, Ben Macintyre expertly weaves the heart-pounding tale of how Philby almost got away with it all--and what happened when he was finally unmasked. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on personal papers and never-before-seen British intelligence files and told with heart-pounding suspense and keen psychological insight, \u003ci\u003eA Spy Among Friends\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating portrait of a Cold War spy and the countrymen who remained willfully blind to his treachery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, Shelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBen Macintyre\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer-at-large for \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e of London and the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eDouble Cross, Operation Mincemeat\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAgent Zigzag\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Napoleon of Crime\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eForgotten Fatherland\u003c\/i\u003e, among other books.
