Andrew Boyle

A detailed study of the infamous Cambridge spies, a group of British intellectuals who spied for the Soviet Union during the 20th century. The book is written in a documentary style, but with a tense narrative, making it a compelling read about betrayal a

The book focuses on five key actors – Kim Philby, Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt and John Cairncross – known as the "Cambridge Five". Boyle explores their motives, ideological leanings and the circumstances that led them to betray their country.

The plot follows their lives from their student days at Cambridge, where, influenced by left-wing ideas and disillusionment with Western capitalism during the Great Depression, they were recruited by Soviet intelligence. The book details their activities during World War II and the Cold War, including the transfer of sensitive information to the USSR, which had far-reaching consequences for British and Western security. Particular emphasis is placed on Philby, whose ability to evade detection over the years has become legendary.

Boyle dissects the psychological and social factors behind their betrayal, including privileged backgrounds, feelings of superiority, and ideological conviction. It also explores the inability of the British authorities to detect spies in a timely manner, revealing the weaknesses of the intelligence system.
