3.0 out of 5 stars
Spy novel - slow but in-depth about the English traitors, August 29, 1998
By A Customer
This was an interesting spy story which goes into depth about one of the three famous English traitors of the '60s, Kim Philby. It describes the search for truth via the eyes of a member of the SIS (British Secret Service) when Philby asks to return home to England from Russia.
It is not an exciting book in the sense that it has no action. Basically, the book evolves about a series of interviews that the SIS person has, The reader, through these discussions, slowly begins to understand what is happening. It has some pretty interesting twists and turns.
If one wants to go in deeper about what happened in this period, or if one knows something about these spies, then a reader will find the book interesting. Otherwise, for excitement, go elsewhere.
