“Far more gripping than any novel of espionage I can remember.”
—Graham Greene
“To this day I am convinced that he was not an ideologue. Spying
was just his way of being above lesser mortals.” —Nigel West
“Addictive . . . highly polished . . . written with style and a
feline sense of irony, making it a much better read than any of the
other Philby literature.” —The Guardian
“Philby has no home, no women, no faith. Behind the inbred
upper-class arrogance, the taste for adventure, lies the self-hate
of a vain misfit for whom nothing will ever be worthy of his
loyalty. In the last instance, Philby is driven by the incurable
drug of deceit itself.” —John le Carré
