(Subject: Political & Biographies - General) Kim Philby's secret life is far stronger than any spy fiction. Recruited by the KGB at Cambridge in the 1930s, he was recruited into the British Secret Intelligence Service where, after a brilliant wartime career, he became head of its anti-Soviet section, then liaison officer in Washington with the CIA and FBI. In this post he revealed everything he learned to Moscow. He was in the running to become "C", chief of the British Secret Intelligence Service, where the damage he could have done would have been incalculable, but following the defection of his fellow spies, Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean, in 1951, Philby found himself under suspicion and eventually fled in 1963. Before he died in Moscow in 1988, unrepentant, Philby had become a symbol of Soviet-inspired treachery, an Englishman from a privileged background who had betrayed the free world. Rufina Philby's memoir of her notorious husband provides a portrait of the masterspy.
