In Russian we have 2 different words - "razvedchik" good spy and "shpion" bad spy.

Incredible true story about a master spy who had a tremendous impact on operations in British, American, and Soviet intelligence. This remarkable story, told with heart-pounding suspense and keen psychological insight, and based on personal papers and never- before-seen British intelligence files, is Ben Macintyre's best book yet, and a high-water mark in Cold War history telling. It was madness for one to think the other might be a communist spy, bent on subverting Western values and the power of the free world. With his friend Graham Greene , he could never wean himself from the thrill of risk, and like Macbeth became "in blood stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er". A Spy Among Friends Kim Philby and the Great Betrayal 1st edition Writer I'm not a lover of spy novels, yet I adored this book. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the subject. Other reading includes several of LeCarre's novels. All the time he was spying for the Soviet Union remitting many damaging Anglo-American secrets to Moscow. In later life he would look back on this as his most important skill, the foundation of his career. Ben Macintyre is a writer-at-large for The Times U. How Philby came to be a citizen of the USSR now Russia living in a uninspiring flat on rubles a month with visitors and movements controlled and monitored is well described in Ben Macintyre's very readab In , thirty years after Kim Philby's death, a small and uninteresting square was named after him. Watch list is full. There is no question that Kim Philby was the most legendary spy of World War II, carving a trail of deception and death in the world of espionage. If you want to understand the depths of despair that one human being can cause another without causing them the slightest physical blemish--this is the book. Great-aunt Blanche was said to have been "crossed in love" at the age of twenty-six and thereafter took to her bed, where she remained for the next fifty years. The stunning truth of his betrayal would have devastating consequences on the two men who thought they knew him best, and on the intelligence services he left crippled in his wake.

On weekends he went shooting or to the races at Newmarket. To an eavesdropper their conversation appears exquisitely genteel. History is related "true" within context of that era's "eyes". There was no fresh fruit, no toilets with doors, no restraint on bullying, and no possibility of escape. The most chilling aspect of this riveting book is its contention that his success was dependent on the protective boundaries of the British class system. It is really an unbelievable and unique account of the worldwide spy and intelligence network during and after the second world war. However, it is still impossible to know what reasons Philby had for leaking secrets to the Soviet Union and what made him betray everything he knew. Add to Watchlist. Exciting and easy to read account of the despicable communist spy Philby, who used his friends to help out the communist regime that killed millions and enslaved millions more. And it offers a great--and mostly troubling--insight into the behind-the-scenes workings of those we entrust with the most important of our political and military secrets. Highly intelligent, cheerful, and lazy, the young Elliott did just enough work to get by: "The increased legibility of his handwriting only serves to reveal the inadequacy of his ability to spell," noted one report. The British government had nothing to gain by prosecuting him. Macintyre suggest that although Philby was a sincere Communist, the impelling motive for his treachery was conceit. Philby and Nick Elliot, another rising star in the service, became close friends. One reads this exchange with a shiver, yet with a certain admiration, too.

It was as though, having decided on his beliefs, he simply put them out of his mind and stayed true to them, despite any conflicting, or disturbing, evidence — such as the disappearance of successive Soviet spymasters that he looked up to and respected. Told with heart-pounding suspense and keen psychological insight, and based on personal papers and never-before-seen British intelligence files, A Spy Among Friends is Ben Macintyre's best book yet, a high-water mark in Cold War history telling. This is what enabled him to get away with, quite literally, murder, for years. He played cricket, punted, drove around Cambridge in a Hillman Minx, and attended and gave some very good parties. Personally, I found this a really interesting read and there is an enjoyable afterword, written by John le Carre. Philby was one of those men of Britain's interwar generation hailing from a privileged class who, upon graduating from Oxford or Cambridg For Americans, the name "Benedict Arnold" is synonymous with traitor.

The general remarked under his breath to Elliott that Hitler was well within rifle range: "I am tempted to take advantage of this," he muttered, adding that he could "pick the bastard off from here as easy as winking.

TO MY WIFE LOIS Prologue For years I had wondered what the last day would be like. In January 1976 after two decades in the top echelons of the British Security Service, MI5, it was time to rejoin the real world. I emerged for the final time from Euston Road tube station. The winter sun shone brightly as I made my way down Gower Street toward Trafalgar Square. Fifty yards on I turned into the unmarked entrance to an anonymous office block. Tucked between an art college and a hospital stood the unlikely headquarters of British Counterespionage. I showed my pass to the policeman standing discreetly in the reception alcove and took one of the specially programmed lifts which carry senior officers to the sixth-floor inner sanctum. I walked silently down the corridor to my room next to the Director-General's suite. The offices were quiet. Far below I could hear the rumble of tube trains carrying commuters to the West End. I unlocked my door. In front of me stood the essential tools of the intelligence officer’s trade - a desk, two telephones, one scrambled for outside calls, and to one side a large green metal safe with an oversized combination lock on the front.

  • Buster » Crabb, Plongeur De Sa Majeste
    Centre Français de Recherche sur le Renseignement NOTE HISTORIQUE N° 24 LA DERNIERE MISSION DE « BUSTER » CRABB, PLONGEUR DE SA MAJESTE Gérald Arboit Le 9 juin 1957, un corps étêté fut découvert par un pêcheur à proximité de Pilsey Island, une petite île au large de Chichester Harbour, dans le Sussex occidental. Deux éléments intriguèrent les enquêteurs : d’abord, il était revêtu d’une tenue de plongée une pièce de la Avon Rubber Company ; ensuite, ses mains manquaient. Bien que toute identification fût impossible, cette immersion fut reliée à une disparition signalée un an plus tôt, une quinzaine de kilomètres plus à l’est, au large de Portsmouth, dans la nuit du 19 avril 1956. L’affaire avait même tourné en affaire d’Etat après sa divulgation par les médias. Mais ni le Lieutenant Commander William McLanachan, un officier plongeur de la base de Portsmouth, ni la veuve du disparu-présumé, Margaret Elaine Player, avec qui elle n’avait été mariée que quelques mois trois années auparavant1, ni sa compagne au moment de sa disparition, Patricia Rose, ne le reconnurent formellement. Seul un ancien compagnon de plongée, Sydney James Knowles, nota que le disparu, comme le corps mutilé, portait une cicatrice sur le genou gauche. Si elle conserva le dossier ouvert, la police de Chichester n’en annonça pas moins que la dépouille était celle de Lionel Kenneth Philip « Buster » Crabb, quarante huit ans, capitaine de frégate de réserve dans la Royal Navy, officier du British Empire et titulaire de la George Medal2. La découverte du corps du plongeur ne fit pas autant de bruit que sa disparition, un an plus tôt.

  • Confidence Men the Mediterranean Double-Cross System, 1941-45 By
    Confidence Men The Mediterranean Double-Cross System, 1941-45 by Brett Edward Lintott A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of History, in the University of Toronto © Copyright by Brett Edward Lintott, 2015 Abstract Confidence Men The Mediterranean Double-Cross System, 1941-45 Brett Edward Lintott Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto, 2015 This dissertation provides an analysis of the Mediterranean double-cross system of the Second World War, which was composed of a number of double agents who were turned by the Allies and operated against their ostensible German spymasters. Utilizing many freshly released archival materials, this study assesses how the double-cross system was constructed, why it was an effective instrument, and how it contributed to Allied success in two areas: security and counter-intelligence, and military deception. The focus is thus on both organization and operations. The chapters cover three chronological periods. In the first — 1941-42 — the initial operational usage of a double agent is assessed, along with the development of early organizational structures to manage and operate individual cases as components of a team of spies. The second section, covering 1943, assesses three issues: major organizational innovations made early that year; the subsequent use of the double agent system to deceive the Germans regarding the planned invasion of Sicily in July; and the ongoing effort to utilize double agents to ensure a stable security and counter-intelligence environment in the Mediterranean theatre. The third and final section analyzes events in 1944, with a focus on double-cross deception in Italy and France, and on the emergence of more systematic security and counter-intelligence double-cross operations in Italy and the Middle East.

    once Germany breached Belgian neutrality. David Owen does not dissent. British policy had failed to prevent a European war; Britain had no alternative but to join it. I’m not convinced.

  • Journalism After September 11Th / Edited by Barbie Zelizer and Stuart Allan
    Journalism After September 11 Journalism After September 11 examines how the traumatic attacks of that day continue to transform the nature of journalism, particularly in the United States and Britain. Familiar notions of what it means to be a journalist, how best to practice journalism, and what the public can reasonably expect of journalists in the name of democracy, were shaken to their foundations. Ten years on, however, new questions arise regarding the lasting implications of that tragic day and its aftermath. Bringing together an internationally respected collection of scholars and media commentators, Journalism After September 11 addresses topics such as: journalism and public life at a time of crisis; broadsheet and tabloid newspaper coverage of the attacks; the role of sources in shaping the news; reporting by global news media such as CNN; Western representations of Islam; current affairs broadcasting; news photo- graphy and trauma; the emotional well-being of reporters; online journalism; as well as a host of pertinent issues around news, democracy, and citizenship. This second edition includes four new chapters—examining Arabic newspaper reporting of the attacks, the perceptions of television audiences, national magazine coverage of the ensuing crisis, and the media politics of “othering”—as well as revised chapters from the first edition and an updated introduction by the co-editors. A foreword is provided by Victor Navasky and an afterword by Phillip Knightley. Barbie Zelizer is Professor of Communication and holds the Raymond Williams Chair of Communication at the Annenberg School of Communication, University of Pennsylvania. Stuart Allan is Professor of Journalism in the Media School, Bournemouth University.
