De ene week zit het mee, en krijg je tientallen miljoenen in het vooruitzicht gesteld door een buitenlandse miljardair om van jou de nieuwe premier van het Verenigd Koninkrijk te maken, de andere week roept 'ie op tot jouw aftreden. Het kan gek lopen, maar voor Reform-leider Nigel Farage is het werkelijkheid. Elon Musk wil niet langer in hem investeren, nee, hij wil dat Farage vervangen wordt door een partijleider die de extreemrechtse Tommy Robinson (momenteel in de gevangenis voor smaad tegen een onschuldige 15-jarige immigrant) wél in de gelederen wil sluiten. Wat zijn de gevolgen voor Farage en Reform? Ook in deze aflevering Een Engelse spion voor de Sovjet-Unie werkte als de beheerder van de kunstcollectie van Queen Elizabeth op Buckingham Palace. Wie was deze Anthony Blunt, en hoeveel wist Elizabeth? Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor. Abonneer en mis geen aflevering.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 86-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 22,574 on turnover of $5.6-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan took a beating, plunging more than 500 points Monday, with selling sparked by steep declines on U.S. markets at the end of last week amid rising worries over the Federal Reserve's next move. The market opened up, but sell-off accelerated in the afternoon session, with weakness seen among other electronics heavyweights, dragging down the Taiex down to almost the day's low at the end of the session. Non-tech stocks moved lower in line with the broader market, with some exceptions in the petrochemical industry, which was boosted by higher international crude oil prices, after the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions against Russia's oil industry. Yunlin touts success in waste reduction -- by searching people's trash bags The Yunlin County government says it has reduced the county's overall trash volume by 7 percent after implementing a search policy. The Yunlin Environmental Protection Bureau says the county's waste output had risen to around 400 metric tons per day, and the local government has instructed waste management workers to search some residents' trash bags and refuse those that contained food scraps and other recyclable materials. Since implementing the policy, almost 20-thousand bags of trash hve been rejected, out of about 100-thousand. The bureau says Yunlin's monthly trash volume last November was 1,200 metric tons lower than in July, equivalent to (等值的；相等的) around 7 percent less trash per day. The bureau says currently, the county generates 360 metric tons of trash per day, which it hopes to reduce to 340 metric tons by the end of this year. NKorea Test Fires Projectile South Korea's military says North Korea has test-fired at least one unidentified projectile toward its eastern waters in its second launch event of 2025. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff on Tuesday didn't immediately provide (提供) more details. The launch followed North Korea's first ballistic launch of the year last week. The North described that the test involved a new hypersonic intermediate-range missile designed to strike targets in the Pacific as leader Kim Jong Un vowed to further expand his collection of nuclear-capable weapons to counter rivals. Romania Protests Calling for Election Resumption Demonstrations were held in the Romanian capital on Sunday calling for a resumption (繼續) of presidential elections. The election was annulled in December by the Constitutional Court citing the illegal use of digital technology to influence the results. William Denselow reports from Brussels. British Declassified Documents Reveal Spy Details Newly declassified British documents show that Queen Elizabeth II wasn't told details of her long-time art adviser's double life as a Soviet spy because palace officials didn't want to add to her worries. The files about royal art historian Anthony Blunt are among a trove from the intelligence agency MI5 released Tuesday by Britain's National Archives. They shed new light on the spy ring linked to Cambridge University who spilled secrets (洩漏祕密) to the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Blunt confessed to espionage in 1964, but according to the files the queen was not given full details until 1973. Her private secretary reported that “she took it all very calmly and without surprise." Blunt was not publicly exposed as a spy until 1979. That was the I.C.R.T.

Kim Philby, Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, and John Cairncross—passed almost 17,000 classified documents to the Soviet Union for 30+ years. The information was so extensive and the volume so large, that Soviet intelligence initially suspected some of it might be disinformation, due to the high-ranking positions these spies held and the access they had. However, much of this intelligence was invaluable, influencing Soviet strategies during pivotal moments of World War II and the Cold War. Join us as we teach you about one of the most notorious spy rings in modern history, The Cambridge Five, and the most prominent member, Kim Philby. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/15minutehistory/support

En 1979, le Royaume-Uni est secoué par un scandale historique lorsque Margaret Thatcher révèle qu'Anthony Blunt, éminent historien de l'art, conseiller royal et proche de la Reine, a été un agent double au service du KGB. Cet homme d'apparence irréprochable, anobli par la Reine, faisait partie des célèbres « Cinq de Cambridge », un groupe d'intellectuels recrutés par l'Union soviétique dans les années 1930. Blunt, aux côtés de ses camarades de Cambridge, avait adopté des convictions communistes et transmis des informations confidentielles britanniques pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Malgré ses aveux en 1964, il avait jusqu'alors bénéficié de l'anonymat et d'une protection grâce à un accord secret. En dénonçant publiquement sa trahison, Thatcher déclenche une tempête médiatique et politique, menant à la destitution de Blunt de son titre de chevalier.

Operacja desantowa Market Garden z udziałem polskich spadochroniarzy we wrześniu 1944 roku miała być przełomem II wojny światowej. Gdyby się powiodła, droga do przemysłowego centrum Niemiec byłaby otwarta, a sama wojna mogła się zakończyć się jeszcze przed świętami. Już od 17 września pierwsze rzuty spadochroniarzy lądowały koło holenderskiego Nijmegen nad rzeką Waal, 100 km za linią wroga. Podoperacja Market w swoich założeniach na papierze i umyśle aroganckiego marszałka Bernarda Montgomery'ego była genialna, opanowanie dziewięciu mostów miało pozwolić w ramach drugiej podoperacji “Garden” na  ofensywę wojsk zmechanizowanych. Wszystko wyglądało świetnie w planach. Szybko okazało się, że realia pola bitwy wyglądają inaczej. Niemcy w tym miejscu mieli zgrupowane nieoczekiwanie duże siły. Na spadochroniarzy wręcz czekały dywizje pancerne.  Czy to możliwe, że był jeszcze ktoś komu zależało na tym, aby alianci zbyt szybko nie weszli do Niemiec? Informacje o planach aliantów zachodnich miał wykraść agent o kryptonimie “Josephine”. Tylko komu je przekazywał. Niemcom, a może Sowietom którzy w tym czasie już nie byli  zainteresowani sukcesem Amerykanów i Brytyjczyków na zachodzie. Wszystko wskazuje na to że mógł to być major MI5 pracujący dla sowieckiego wywiadu Anthony Blunt. Czy to zatem możliwe aby zafascynowany komunizmem zdrajca w gruncie rzeczy przekazał Rosjanom informacje, które ci dla własnej korzyści przekazali Niemcom? O tym w dzisiejszym odcinku, w którym moim gościem będzie Robert Verkaik, brytyjski dziennikarz, autor książki która w samej Wielkiej Brytanii stała się bestsellerem.  Odcinek powstał dzięki wsparciu moich Patronów w serwisie Patronite.

PREVIEW: #MARKET GARDEN: #MONTGOMERY: Conversation with colleague Gregory Copley regarding the revelation in a soon-to-be-published book that Anthony Blunt, a member of the Cambridge Five and a spy catcher at MI5, discovered the details of Operation Market Garden and passed them to his NKVD handler. It is presumed that the information was then relayed to Moscow and Stalin, who may have subsequently shared it with Berlin. The discussion will explore the possibility that Stalin's motive was to prevent the Allies from crossing the Rhine and reaching Berlin before the Red Army. More details to follow later. 1944 Market Garden

His armies did not fight in multiple theaters, his empire did not span the Eurasian continent, and he did not inherit any of the spoils of war. That central role belonged to Joseph Stalin. The Second World War was not Hitler's war; it was Stalin's war: Drawing on ambitious new research in Soviet, European, and US archives, Stalin's War revolutionizes our understanding of this global conflict by moving its epicenter to the east. Hitler's genocidal ambition may have helped unleash Armageddon, but as McMeekin shows, the war which emerged in Europe in September 1939 was the one Stalin wanted, not Hitler. So, too, did the Pacific war of 1941–1945 fulfill Stalin's goal of unleashing a devastating war of attrition between Japan and the “Anglo-Saxon” capitalist powers he viewed as his ultimate adversary.   McMeekin also reveals the extent to which Soviet Communism was rescued by the US and Britain's self-defeating strategic moves, beginning with Lend-Lease aid, as American and British supply boards agreed almost blindly to every Soviet demand. Stalin's war machine, McMeekin shows, was substantially reliant on American materiél from warplanes, tanks, trucks, jeeps, motorcycles, fuel, ammunition, and explosives, to industrial inputs and technology transfer, to the foodstuffs which fed the Red Army.   This unreciprocated American generosity gave Stalin's armies the mobile striking power to conquer most of Eurasia, from Berlin to Beijing, for Communism.   A groundbreaking reassessment of the Second World War, Stalin's War is essential reading for anyone looking to understand the current world ordeR.

So, too, did the Pacific war of 1941–1945 fulfill Stalin's goal of unleashing a devastating war of attrition between Japan and the “Anglo-Saxon” capitalist powers he viewed as his ultimate adversary.   McMeekin also reveals the extent to which Soviet Communism was rescued by the US and Britain's self-defeating strategic moves, beginning with Lend-Lease aid, as American and British supply boards agreed almost blindly to every Soviet demand. Stalin's war machine, McMeekin shows, was substantially reliant on American materiél from warplanes, tanks, trucks, jeeps, motorcycles, fuel, ammunition, and explosives, to industrial inputs and technology transfer, to the foodstuffs which fed the Red Army.   This unreciprocated American generosity gave Stalin's armies the mobile striking power to conquer most of Eurasia, from Berlin to Beijing, for Communism.   A groundbreaking reassessment of the Second World War, Stalin's War is essential reading for anyone looking to understand the current world ordeR.

PREVIEW: #STALIN: Conversation with author Sean McMeekin about his book "STALIN's WAR: A New History of World War II," which presents Stalin as planning to set the capitalist states of Europe and America against each other. The book explores how Stalin aimed to use the American aid he received as a bulwark of his empire. This perspective is possibly underlined by the recent revelation that Stalin approved his spy, Anthony Blunt, at MI5 to inform Berlin about Operation Market Garden, in order to prevent the Allies from reaching Berlin first. More details to follow. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/392db86e-7d65-4c5d-b2a9-b781d5ee7250?shareToken=99d9180db57c2304848bc11f23ff97dc Stalin's War: A New History of World War II, Sean McMeekin, with Kevin Stillwell as narrator.

Découvrez dès à présent un extrait de l'émission et rendez-vous ce soir à 20h sur RTL pour écouter la suite de ce nouveau numéro de "Jour J". "Jour J", c'est l'émission des grands entretiens d'actualité. Chaque jour, Flavie Flament explore les coulisses et les détails de l'info d'hier et d'aujourd'hui avec un témoin-expert. Une heure d'analyse et d'archives pour comprendre l'actualité avec recul et nuance.

Sir Anthony Blunt, esteemed art historian and a favourite of the Royal family, was publicly revealed as a Soviet spy on 15th November, 1979, when Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher confirmed he had been part of the "Cambridge Five", a group of double agents who secretly passed sensitive information to the Soviet Union. Despite his confession to MI5 in 1964, Blunt continued his association with the royal household, working as a surveyor of the Queen's pictures until his retirement in 1972. The response in Parliament included disbelief and accusations of deliberate cover-ups to protect Blunt, leading, eventually, to his knighthood being rescinded. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how Blunt's privilege facilitated his double-dealing at the very highest levels of British society; ask whether his homosexuality influenced his relationship with Guy Burgess and his willingness to betray the British establishment; and explain how a fictional work - and some trigger-happy lawyers - led to his downfall… Further Reading: • ‘Art historian who spied for the Soviet Union' (The Guardian, 1979): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/nov/17/anthony-blunt-spy-sentenced-1979 • ‘Anthony Blunt: confessions of spy who passed secrets to Russia during the war' (The Telegraph, 2009): https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/5889879/Anthony-Blunt-confessions-of-spy-who-passed-secrets-to-Russia-during-the-war.html • ‘Art historian, professor, writer, spy – the extraordinary story of Anthony Blunt' (The British Academy, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0Z4lucQar0 Love the show?

durée : 01:00:00 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda - Histoires d'espionnage soviétique : les "Cinq de Cambridge" racontés par Alexandre Adler Dans une série consacrée aux "Histoires d'espionnage soviétique", Alexandre Adler consacrait deux épisodes aux "Cinq de Cambridge". S'il est dans le grand roman de l'espionnage un chapitre fascinant, c'est bien celui des "Cinq de Cambridge". L'affaire impliquait le gratin de la société britannique. Éclatant au plus chaud de la guerre froide, elle révéla, qu'en leurs plus hautes sphères, les services secrets de sa majesté étaient pénétrés par les soviétiques depuis de longues années. La personnalité, la qualité et la destinée de chacun de ses protagonistes, confèrent à cet épisode une dimension romanesque digne des plus grands auteurs. Ils s'appelaient Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, John Cairncross et Kim Philby. Mais étaient-ils cinq. seulement cinq ? Et ceux-là étaient-ils vraiment tous des agents soviétiques, au même titre, au même degré ? Aujourd'hui encore, l'affaire n'a sans doute pas livré tous ses secrets. * En 2000, dans la série qu'il consacrait sur France Culture à l'histoire de l'espionnage soviétique, Alexandre Adler revenait sur les rôles qu'y jouèrent Kim Philby et les autres. À elles seules, les biographies hors du commun de Kim Philby et de son propre-père, nous racontent un siècle d'une histoire avec laquelle nous sommes encore loin d'en avoir fini. Production : Alexandre Adler Réalisation : Brigitte Bouvier Histoire et Histoires - Histoires d'espionnage soviétique : Philby et compagnie 4/10 et Fin de Philby, la contre-offensive britannique 5/10 1ère diffusion : 24 et 25/08/2000

The revelation that spies working for the Soviet Union, recruited at Cambridge University in the 1930s, had deeply penetrated the British intelligence and diplomatic systems causes shockwaves throughout the 1950s, 60s and 70s as more and more either defected or were exposed. The fascinating figure of Guy Burgess was at the heart of the scandal, and his secret flight to Moscow in 1951 stunned the world, shaking confidence in Britain in its Cold War ally, the USA. Andrew wrote a much acclaimed biography of Burgess and this week he talks Phil through his remarkable story, and that of the other key spies. And they discuss whether Burgess was the most important of them all. They're joined by one of Britain's greatest ever writers on intelligence, Nigel West. Nigel met with Anthony Blunt, one of the most important Cambridge spies, and gained access to previously secret Soviet files. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stalins-Englishman-Lives-Guy-Burgess/dp/1473627362 www.nigelwest.com Andrew Lownie.twitter.com/andrewlownie Phil Craig.twitter.com/philmcraig You can now get in touch with the show...team@podcastworld.org (Place 'Scandal Mongers' in the heading please) This show is Part of the PodcastWorld.org network.

La recientemente fallecida reina Isabel II de Inglaterra ocultó en palacio a un espía que la traicionó. Su nombre: Anthony Blunt; este espía delató a decenas de agentes británicos en el extranjero durante Guerra Fría, que fueron capturados y muchos de ellos, ejecutados. Lo más sorprendente es que cuando fue descubierto en 1964 nadie hizo nada. Sir Anthony Blunt, asesor de la colección de arte de la familia real británica, fue un agente secreto encubierto al servicio de la Unión Soviética durante décadas. La historia de esta alta traición se ocultó al público durante más de una década y Blunt siguió en el cargo hasta 1972 para evitar un nuevo escándalo real. 

En 1680, a los 81 años, murió en Roma Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Dejaba a sus espaldas algunas de las obras de arquitectura y escultura más significativas de la corte papal del siglo XVII, obras aún reconocidas universalmente: del baldaquino de la basílica hasta la columnata de la plaza de San Pedro, o del Rapto de Proserpina hasta el Éxtasis de Santa Teresa. Bernini, napolitano de nacimiento y, por lo tanto, súbdito de los monarcas españoles, murió aclamado por todos como un artista fuera de lo común cuyas obras eran admiradas en el mundo entero y de las que los romanos se sentían muy orgullosos. Le enterraron bajo una humilde lápida en la basílica de Santa María la Mayor de Roma y pasó a formar parte del panteón de los grandes arquitectos y escultores de la Roma del renacimiento papal de los siglos XVI y XVII junto a Miguel Ángel, Rafael o Bramante. Buena parte de esa fama de la que disfrutó en vida hubo de compartirla con un singular rival, un hombre de su misma edad y que murió trece años antes que él: Francesco Borromini, un dotadísimo arquitecto proveniente del Tesino, en la Suiza italiana, que firmó muchos de los mejores edificios de la Roma del 'seicento' como la iglesia de San Carlos de las cuatro fuentes, el oratorio de San Felipe Neri o el Colegio de Propaganda fide, una congregación creada por Gregorio XV en plena contrarreforma para extender la evangelización por el mundo. Bernini y Borromini, las dos grandes “bes” de la arquitectura romana del siglo XVII se formaron juntos como arquitectos hasta que Bernini fue nombrado director de las obras de San Pedro del Vaticano en 1629 y Borromini se convirtió en su ayudante. Pero en 1644, las tornas cambiaron y Borromini se convirtió en el nuevo director del Vaticano mientras Bernini quedaba marginado. La rueda de la fortuna volvió a girar y en 1655, Bernini volvió al mando y Borromini al olvido, esto agudizó su carácter retraído y desconfiado y le llevó directo al suicidio en 1667. Lo hizo al modo de los antiguos héroes griegos, como Áyax el Grande, apoyó su espada sobre el suelo y se la clavó. Luego pidió ser enterrado sin que se consignase su nombre junto a Carlo Maderno, otro gran arquitecto de la Roma papal por quien sentía devoción y que había muerto muchos años antes. El trágico final de Francesco Borromini puso fin a cinco décadas en las que convivieron en Roma dos arquitectos geniales. A pesar de su rivalidad no hicieron más que prestarse ideas y soluciones que marcarían el arte en el centro de Italia y en todo el orbe católico, desde Europa occidental hasta Hispanoamérica. Para conocer con más detalle la vida y obra de ambos, los motivos de su rivalidad y los muchos aportes que hicieron a la arquitectura hoy tenemos de nuevo a Alberto Garín en La ContraHistoria. Alberto conoce muy bien la obra de ambos, la tiene, de hecho, estudiada a fondo, así que nos va a descubrir más de un secreto de esos que en las clases de historia del arte suelen pasarse por alto y en los que acostumbra a estar la clave de muchas obras artísticas.

This is part 2 of the Hess Enigma. What happened to Hess? Was he murdered? Was it Hess? We also examine the roles of other characters such as Tancred Borenius, the Polish leader Sikorski and others.There is also Anthony Blunt the Soviet spy who carried out dirty business for the Royal family.There are so many secrets and rumours regarding the Hess flight, and he was prevented with communicating with anyone after he was locked up, so it is unlikely that the truth will ever come out.

An excerpt from THE LEONARDO GULAG by Kevin Doherty Narrated by Edison McDaniels “[The Leonardo Gulag is] vivid, fresh, gripping, clever. This historical thriller set in a gulag in Stalin's Russia thoroughly propelled me. With appearances from Stalin himself and Soviet spy Anthony Blunt, it feels authentic on every page. I felt I was there.”—David Morrell, New York Times best-selling author “[The Leonardo Gulag is] an extraordinary novel with a fresh and unique premise—one that draws the reader into a world that's both clever and imaginative. Bravo. Bravo.”—Steve Berry, New York Times best-selling author “The Leonardo Gulag is a bold, bracing, and brilliant take on the human side and costs of [the Cold War]. Kevin Doherty's starkly original tale of prisoners forced to forge da Vinci masterpieces lives up to pop culture classics like Stalag 17 and The Great Escape, not to mention the best of Leon Uris and the Louis L'Amour classic Last of the Breed. This is a historical thriller of the highest order; smart, savvy, and sensational.”—Jon Land, USA Today best-selling author “This relentless tale of cruelty and survival provides a sobering look at Stalin's Russia. Fans of Kafkaesque historical fiction will be satisfied.”—Publishers Weekly Kevin Doherty grew up in Northern Ireland, graduated from Queen's University Belfast, and lives in England, near Windsor Castle, with his wife, Roz. His professional background is advertising and marketing. He has worked for a number of U.K. and international companies and has advised business and government agencies in Britain and Europe. He now writes full time and THE LEONARDO GULAG is his fourth novel. //////////////////// THE SURGICAL FICTION PODCAST is narrated by Edison McDaniels.

This week's show is called "Life Experiences - Anthony Blunt." Listen to Opal Bailey in "Live with Necee" weekly as she brings to you, topics, people, and ideas that help you think more about Life, Living, and Loving.

In November 1979, Margaret Thatcher exposed the distinguished art historian Anthony Blunt as a former Soviet spy - part of the infamous Cambridge Spy Ring who traded secrets with Moscow during the Second World War. Blunt's unmasking provoked a media outcry that turned him into a national hate figure. In this 10-Minute Talk, President of the British Academy David Cannadine discusses the background to this extraordinary story. And he reveals how the British Academy itself got caught up in the public furore, leading to a showdown at its Annual General Meeting forty years ago this month, on the question of whether Blunt should be expelled from its membership.'A Question of Retribution? The British Academy and the Matter of Anthony Blunt', edited by David Cannadine, was published on 23 July 2020.Image: Anthony Blunt at a press conference, 20th November 1979 © Central Press / Stringer / Hulton Archive / Getty ImagesTranscript: https://www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/podcasts/10-minute-talks-art-historian-professor-writer-spy-the-extraordinary-story-of-anthony-blunt/

Donald Maclean was one of the most treacherous and productive – for Moscow spies of the Cold War era and a key member of the infamous “Cambridge Five” spy ring, yet the complete extent of this shy, intelligent, and secretive man's betrayal of his country and his friends, family and colleagues, has never been explored—until now. Drawing on a wealth of previously classified files and unseen family papers, A Spy Named Orphan: the Enigma of Donald Maclean (W.W. Norton, 2018) meticulously documents this extraordinary story. In the first full biography of Maclean, author and publisher, Roland Philipps unravels Maclean's character and contradictions. Like many members of his generation, Maclean became infatuated with Communism during his school days, even before his time at Cambridge. The very model of a perfect diplomat, he rose through the ranks of the diplomatic service rapidly, never arousing suspicion of his treasonous double life. He married an American woman despite his sexual ambivalence and increasing antipathy to the United States. He was prone to alcoholic binges and general erratic behavior, that should have blown his cover, yet they never found their way onto his record. A sworn enemy of capitalism, he had access to some of the greatest secrets of the time, transmitting invaluable intelligence to his Soviet handlers on the atom bomb and the shape of the postwar world. In a brazen escapade, he successfully eluded the British authorities to defect to the Soviet Union, where he worked and lived unrepentantly for the next thirty years. Philipps offers memorable portraits of Maclean's and his coconspirators—Kim Philby, Guy Burgess, and Anthony Blunt—as well as the gifted Russian spymasters of the period. A gripping tale of blind faith and fierce loyalty alongside dangerous duplicity and human vulnerability, Philipps's narrative will stand as the definitive account of the mysterious and elusive man first codenamed “Orphan” for many years to come. A must read for anyone interested in this tales of spying, intrigue and treason. Charles Coutinho holds a doctorate in history from New York University. Where he studied with Tony Judt, Stewart Stehlin and McGeorge Bundy. His Ph. D. dissertation was on Anglo-American relations in the run-up to the Suez Crisis of 1956. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history.

Claudia Cragg (@KGNUClaudia) speaks here for @KGNU with Roland Philipps, about his new book, the first full biography of one of the twentieth century’s most notorious spies. Donald Maclean. Maclean was one of the most treacherous spies of the Cold War era and a key member of the infamous "#CambridgeFive" #spyring, yet the full extent of this shrewd, secretive man’s betrayal has never been explored—until now. Drawing on a wealth of previously classified files and unseen family papers, A Spy Named Orphan meticulously documents his extraordinary story. Roland Philipps unravels Maclean’s character and contradictions, informed by a domineering father in a childhood at once liberal and austere. Maclean became infatuated with Communism during his school days, even before his time at Cambridge. A model diplomat, he rose through the ranks of the British Foreign Office rapidly, never arousing suspicion of his chilling double life. He married an American woman despite his sexual ambivalence and increasing antipathy to the United States. He was prone to alcoholic binges that should have blown his cover, yet they never found their way onto his record. A sworn enemy of capitalism, he had access to some of the greatest secrets of the time, transmitting invaulable intelligence to his Soviet handlers on the atom bomb and the shape of the postwar world. Maclean was a spy who loved and loathed the role. In a brazen escapade, he successfully eluded the incredulous authorities to defect to the Soviet Union, where he worked and lived unrepentantly for the next thirty years. Philipps offers memorable portraits of Maclean’s coconspirators—Kim Philby, Guy Burgess, and Anthony Blunt—as well as the gifted Russian spymasters of the period; a vibrant evocation of Cambridge and London between the wars; colorful descriptions of Maclean’s postings in Paris, Cairo, and Washington, D.C.; and a riveting re-creation of the tense international code-breaking operation that ultimately exposed him. A gripping tale of blind faith and fierce loyalty alongside dangerous duplicity and human vulnerability, Philipps’s narrative will stand as the definitive account of the mysterious and elusive man first codenamed "Orphan."
