ara, 1966 Y. MACLEAN'S, CANADA'S NATIONAL MAGAZINE KIM PHILBY’S SILENT WAR ju 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 1] 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 later 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. 43 THE WEST
