KIM PHILBY’S
SILENT WAR
Y. can still see him, if you're lucky, strolling with his fourth
wife in Moscow’s Red Square: Kim Philby, the Cam-
bridge-bred insider who, as an unpaid Russian spy,
spent ii years penetrating the heart of the British and
US. intelligence establishments, and thus became one
of history’s most outrageously successful spies. Since
he fled to Moscow in 1963, Philby has been the subject
of an avalanche of journalistic speculation. But this
month, in a book called My Silent War, Philby reveals
for the first time how he became a Communist spy,
how he rose to become head of the Soviet section of
the British secret service and Jater its contact man with
the FBI and CIA in Washington. Finally, in the extract
that begins overleaf, he tells how—in one of the Cold
War's greatest espionage coups—he helped fellow spies
Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean escape to Moscow.
