I first became aware of Kim Philby from the book "Great True Spy Stories" which I read in the late 1970s. He intrigued me and I became attentive to any scrap of news about him that was publicized up to the time of his death in 1988. I would later read Philby's book "MY SILENT WAR: The Autobiography of a Spy" and very recently, Ben Macintyre's fantastic book "A SPY AMONG FRIENDS: Kim Philby and the Great Betrayal." Philby was an unrepentant believer in the Soviet Union (to whom he pledged fealty in the early 1930s) until his death.

This is interesting, but not really representative of the truth. It's overlooking the most obvious and crucial part of this analysis which is the value of the individuals. While I'm sure there is plenty of classicism in the British Public Service, it's not to the point where they would intentionally harm their own intelligence-gathering efforts just to give a kick back to some guy who went to the same school as them. The reason why they offer immunity to some people and not to others is because they believe that that will get them a lot more information. it's the same reason why during the war whenever one side captured an enemy General they didn't start torturing them to find out what they knew, but instead treated them very well with the hope that they could coax information out of them. The British did this with a number of captured German pilots, who they simply put into nice lodgings, which of course has been thoroughly rigged to record everything that they said, and allow the information to come out that way.

This was a very productive and useful video. Thank you for making it.

The KGB guy and Philby's daughter are the smartest, most interesting characters in this sorry tale. And Chapman Pincher, super-sleuth, of course.

John le Carré described Ben Macintyre's fact based novel, The Spy and The Traitor, as "the best true spy story I have ever read". It was about Kim Philby's Russian counterpart, a KGB Colonel named Oleg Gordievsky, codename Sunbeam. In 1974 Gordievsky became a double agent working for MI6 in Copenhagen which was when Bill Fairclough aka Edward Burlington unwittingly launched his career as a secret agent for MI6. Fairclough and le Carré knew of each other: le Carré had even rejected Fairclough's suggestion in 2014 that they collaborate on a book. As le Carré said at the time, "Why should I? I've got by so far without collaboration so why bother now?" A realistic response from a famous expert in fiction in his eighties! Gordievsky never met Fairclough, but he did know Fairclough's handler, Colonel Alan McKenzie aka Colonel Alan Pemberton. It is little wonder therefore that in Beyond Enkription, the first fact based novel in The Burlington Files espionage series, genuine double agents, disinformation and deception weave wondrously within the relentless twists and turns of evolving events. Beyond Enkription is set in 1974 in London, Nassau, Port au Prince and the Americas. Edward Burlington, a far from boring accountant, unwittingly started working for Alan McKenzie in MI6 and later worked eyes wide open for the CIA. What happens is so exhilarating and bone chilling it makes one wonder why bother reading espionage fiction when facts are so much more breathtaking. Len Deighton and Mick Herron could be forgiven for thinking they co-wrote the raw noir anti-Bond narrative, Beyond Enkription. Atmospherically it's reminiscent of Ted Lewis' Get Carter of Michael Caine fame. If anyone ever makes a film based on Beyond Enkription they'll only have themselves to blame if it doesn't go down in history as a classic espionage thriller.

Spending 90% of the time on the Beirut years is missing the crucial story, which is Philby's roles in the war and then in the late 40s in Washington. His relationship with J Angleton is fascinating; I wish there were documentaries on that. Btw, by far the most damage to British/Western interests was done by Maclean, without whom the Soviets might not have developed atomic weapons until the 60s. History's focus on Philby is odd.

During the 1950's, Western intelligence services recruited individuals in Europe and America who had been native Lithuanians, Estonians, and Latvians. They were parachuted into those countries to act as agents. Philby gave their names to the NKVD. These agents were then arrested and brutally tortured and executed by the Soviets.

Philby was never given the status of "officer" by the Soviets, only that of "Agent". In addition, of course, all the costs and hassle of keeping these people in jail. They all led thoroughly miserable lives in the USSR.....poetic justice? Blunt, of course, was terrified of being exported to the USSR. Despite many books suggesting that he was never properly investigated, his love of Art made him very vulnerable.

It should NEVER be forgotten that people died because of that man's deceit, he literally sent English men, and allied partners to they're deaths with his tongue. Absolute traitor, and what for? He died in Russia not being trusted at all, with a kgb minder watching his every move, with nothing. I say may those who perished whilst serving they're country, due to his betrayal, may they RIP✝️ (I will also say though that his daughter is hugely brave to talk publicly about this, she must feel so conflicted)

His daughter may of been an agent too, that may have been his greatest rouge. For who, who knows.

Anyone that takes the position of blackmail; is simply mistrusted.

The first book I read in English was a novel about Philby. I was 15 at the time, I was always interested in that character.

There are three points in Philby's British Press meeting at his mothers Kensington flat where he denied he was "the third man," at each of these points Philby on careful observation pulls a face to himself when he denies being the third man, it is an inward facial reflex (part inward smirk), at the point he states he has not knowing spoken to "a communist since 1934," he pulls another inward smirk face of "what a porker I've told them." Interestingly at that meeting you may spot Alan Whicker sitting on Philby's right and taking notes. Philby is an enigma...

I find this whole story amazing. Re. the daughter- she lived in denial and died, as did her father, in denial. "A life not examined is a life not worth living." This history exemplified the the shallowness of the English class system: "He's one of us." ...to the end! I can only hope that in 2020, the British class system no longer rules, at least not in the world of spying. Seeing on the telly their former colonists speaking in perfect, although sometimes too perfect, schoolboy English has hopefully abused the Brits of judging a book by its cover. I truly believe in his simple minded way he believed in Marxism- not communism- but how much intelligence does it take to see that what was occurring in the communist ruled countries was not what his idealistic mind had foreseen.

Well, had the Brits accused Philby of spying and been incorrect about his intentions. They would of appeared to be very Rude. Which is worse then looking lackadaisical. We are just very fortunate here in America that Philby stopped spying, as so bluntly stated, in 1949.🙈

Enough is not made that his father was St John Philby who had a strange life to say the least.

I think he did get punishment. The punishment he faced was far worse than what Britain could have done. He was shown that what he did, sell out his own country, was for nothing. He was treated like a criminal in the country he risked everything for. As the British knew this, I think they were more satisfied as it also showed would be traitors that in the end, is it really worth it?

My people are from the East Midlands in the UK, and were part of the working class. They lived lives far removed from what was the very privileged background and life of Philby. As his daughter stated, I, too, would like to know why Philby did what he did. While I do understand being idealistic, that's no excuse for the fact that by divulging secrets to the Soviets this undoubtedly led to the deaths of an unknown number of men and women. Some of those men and women may have been my (or your) own family that were giving their all for their country while he was giving his all for a foreign power. Philby may have gotten away with a lot while he was alive, but one day the truth will be told about what his actions caused his own people.

I presume the reference was the Suez Crisis where Britian and France used the Israeli invasion as an excuse to protect the Suez Canal which Egypt had nationalized.

I am sorry, but the way Philby's "interrogation" was handled was very British. Questioning him, granting him immunity, letting him go, with one of the agents going off to the ski slopes, with Philby promising to return later on. Ha! The Soviets or Americans would have thrown someone like Philby into a car trunk, then loaded them onto a plane to take them back to their country.

I feel that every agent, working for a foreign nation against his own, believes him or herself to possess some knowledge that would radically change whatever Ill they perceive in their society at a stroke. That no one has listened to them is not so much a narcissistic wound as an enticement to act when an opportunity presents itself; that the opportunity involves betraying the government he or she holds responsible for the aforementioned I’ll is a kind of highly addictive drug. These days, masses are not so much oppressed as managed but, in the late 50’s and early 60’s, the direction paranoia had taken the western democracies, such as we stand, might have seemed sanctimonious, hypermoralistic, hypocritical, and repressive (rather than the restrictive they, for the most part, were if one avoided the “war on drugs” and the reasons for its origins) when combined, personally, I can see how Philby saw “fascist.” In contrast, the Walker’s might have been seen as cutthroat capitalists in the early 80’s, cutthroat, yes, but capitalists nonetheless. If Calvin Coolidge was as right as Gordon Gekko were right then, the Walkers, convinced that a war between the US and the Soviets was impossible, didn’t just take advantage of an opportunity, they traded something of questionable value for something of known value. Don’t get me wrong, I’d prefer to have them sentenced to a lifetime of being dragged by the balls over a bed of sharp gravel and a pool of brine, healed, and the treatment repeated until the world runs out of gravel and salt. My cruelty notwithstanding, they put my life, as well as countless others, at risk on what amounts to a commodities futures gamble writ large. If Philby was poor then what can we say to a person in Appalachia or an urban ghetto?

It would not work, especially not Americans because you are fundamentally so different culturally and way of thinking. And they will not be able to forget or condemn all the wars you started all over the world so an alliance will be very problematic. Additionally US can not change their politic because this is what they are and the way they can keep their position and income to avoid ruin. Us swedes have always tried to stay neutral to Russia because we are neighbours and they the same to us, I like the people but the culture is complex. A lot of Asian influence and their different versions of history must all be read to truly understand them. For an American and Russian I honestly think it will be difficult to accept each other as individuals, most of them also have underlying conservative thoughts which clash with US.
