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

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.

Summary Stephen Duffy (LinkedIn) joins Andrew (Twitter; LinkedIn) to discuss the spy stories of St. Ermin's Hotel in London. It includes links to SOE, MI6, Ian Fleming, and the Cambridge 5.  What You'll Learn Intelligence The origins of the SOE MI6 and the SOE in the hotel during WWII (bad neighbors!) Incredible female spies of WWII  St. Ermin's Cambridge Five connection The history of the hotel Reflections The stories a hotel could tell if it could talk Proximity to power And much, much more … *FULL SHOWNOTES & FULL TRANSCRIPT HERE* Episode Notes During World War II, the hotel was the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill's Special Operations Executive – a crucial element in his initiative to “set Europe ablaze.” Notorious spies Kim Philby and Donald Maclean were known to enjoy a drink at the hotel bar while sharing secrets with their Soviet handlers. And that's not all – to learn the rest, you'll have to listen to the episode.  Quotes of the Week “That's where Burgess, MacLean, and Philby at different times met their Russian handlers in plain sight and sat there and spoke normally. Didn't talk out the side of their mouths, didn't have red carnations and copies of the Financial Times under their arm. They just passed over their information, their paperwork or whatever, in plain sight to everybody.” – Stephen Duffy. *FULL SHOWNOTES & FULL TRANSCRIPT HERE* Resources  SURFACE SKIM *SpyCasts* Hitler's Trojan Horse – Nazi Intelligence with Nigel West (2023) Nazis on the Potomac – with former National Park Service Chief Historian Bob Sutton (2022) SPY@20: The Spy of the Century – Curators Alexis and Andrew on Kim Philby (2022) The Beverly Hills Spy – with The Hollywood Reporter's Seth Abramovitch (2022) *Beginner Resources* MI6 History & Facts, Encyclopedia Britannica (2022) [Brief history of MI6] World War 2 Chronology, B.

Durante los primeros años de la Guerra Fría, el proyecto Venona fue una fuente de información de la actividad de inteligencia soviética que era dirigida a las potencias militares occidentales. Aunque desconocido para el público, e incluso para los presidentes Franklin D. Roosevelt y Harry S. Truman, estos programas fueron de importancia relativa a los acontecimientos cruciales de principios de la Guerra Fría. Esto incluía el caso de espionaje de Ethel y Julius Rosenberg y las deserciones de Donald Maclean y Guy Burgess a la Unión Soviética.

This episode is a little bit different from previous episodes.  It's a lecture given by Lachlan (Lachie) MacLean, Lachie Knock, to the Mull Historical Society in the 1980's. The lecture has the loose title of Tales From the Glen.  Lachie talks about the origins of the clan MacLean, the struggle to keep the Gaelic language and culture alive, Glen Forsa and Glen Cannel, place names, local story tellers of his youth in Loch Buie and so, so much more.  
This recording comes from the archive of Donald MacLean, Donald Langamull, which was bequeathed to Mull Museum in Tobermory. I'm releasing this recording on the main stream of What We Do in the Winter as I think it would be of interest to so many of our listeners.  The rest of Donald Langamull's archive will be released over the coming years in partnership with Mull Museum and can be found on both the WWDitW sound cloud and main webpage.    Thanks for listening!

I thank you for joining me again, Beyond the big Screen.[00:00:00] Thank you again for joining us today, I am very excited to be joined by special guest Michael Holtzman, author of the book, Donald and Melinda McClain idealism and espionage. Michael is the author of numerous books, including James Jesus Angleton, the CIA and craft of intelligence, a biography of guy Burgess, spies, and trends.Kim Philby James Angleton and the friendship and betrayal that would shape my sex as well as a novel packs. 1934 through 41. Michael has been on the show previously to talk about James Angleton, Kim Philby and Klaus Fuchs through his book on. Spies and traders. So I think this will fit in very well with this.So today we're going to talk about another spy trader story, which is related to the others. We have talked about the subject today is the dynamic duo of double crossing Donald and Melinda McLean. Their story's more [00:01:00] complicated though than that's. Um, so I really, I'm very thankful that Michael Holtzman is here today to tell us the rest of this incredible story.Okay. Now, before we delve into the details of Donald and Melinda McClain's life, maybe you can give us a really quick overview of what their story was from the 10,000 foot view to, and then we can start digging into some of us specifics. The story is usually told as the story of the career of Donald claim, Don, the client was.Very successful foreign service officer of the British empire from 1938 or so until 1951. And then had a second career as a, uh, think tank person specializing in political science. And Moscow during his career for the [00:02:00] foreign office, the British foreign office, he was posted in many very important places.Paris London, back in London, New York, Washington, and, uh, made it his practice. To send copies of everything that came across his desk that he thought would be interested in Moscow to Moscow, that a result of that, uh, during that period, as one of his colleagues said, it would have been better if the British hadn't done that they, uh, smelly learned all of the inside details about things like.Carlos an intervention in the winter war, uh, Penland in the Soviet union and crucially, they learned everything there was to learn about policy issues involving the atomic bomb and the plant. Preemptive [00:03:00] atomic war against the Soviet union in the late 1948. What was some of his, uh, Donald Maclean's background?Where did he come from? And what was his early education? Um, a member of was called tenability of the row. He wasn't quite on the rest of it. His father was a member of parliament, uh, something of a self-made man from Scotland. Um, his mother came from a very similar background to that. Uh, uh, they weren't arrested Kratts, but they were very comfortably off and extremely well connected to political.Tunnel. And that claim was sent to Gresham's school in Norfolk, which was considered to be a progressive school. And coincidentally, it was a school that attended by crime grain, and [00:04:00] all of us also Benjamin Britten. He did very well there. He played sports. He was extremely active in a school in those days.And it's quite well-prepared for the university education. He then went to Cambridge and he, uh, lived at Trinity. Which is a remarkable and smart college, certainly by American standards, two or three buildings squeezed in between Trinity and Kings. He imagined in modern languages, you've got a person with the highest possible.Uh, score there. He made many trends. A lot of those friends were on the left and somewhere on the far left and some became was, he was, that was a McLean ideology, ideological and college. Did he get involved in the actual communist party or end these groups or was it [00:05:00] just a, uh, something he was interested in?You became interested in McSwain politics while he was still at Gresham's. Uh, his best friend was a man named James , who was, uh, uh, came from a business background, family business. And James Kligman a very politically conscious, very young age. Um, a claim was politically conscious as father to the member of parliament, who was also a member of the cabinet, came to the school and gave lectures and they.We're oriented towards a world government at that time. Peace so far, uh, when he was at Cambridge, got rapidly, went to the left and was probably we'll have to distinguish here between being a communist and being a member of the communist party. You've as a communist [00:06:00] beliefs in a comedy as ideology. Yeah.As soon as he stepped into canvas, which is fairly ironic, given how privileged Cambridge was, um, whether he joined the communist party or not, we can say John comments, but it's not clear that the communist party thought he was incontinence. That was a bureaucratic issue. So the background of this.Economics that your socioeconomic situation and England at the time, you had a very small really I've been reading the diaries of, uh, Henry Chip's Channon, who was a social blight in this period. And if I can calculate that the aristocracy. Comprised of maybe 2000 adults. This was in a, in a country of 50 million people that most of the, uh, political influence, the political power in the country was through these 2000.And, uh, the associated [00:07:00] people, like a claims father, they had incomes, uh, something like, uh, five to 10,000 pounds a year that would have been $45,000. And the currency of that time and 50 times. Um, and our occurrence, that's a time typical working class families had a hundred pounds, um, and they were starting slowly.We need to talk a little bit to the Cambridge five because somebody like Donna McClain, he didn't come out of nowhere. He was in this group of like-minded individuals. Yes. Uh, I can cross with a Scott and that's not really part of this. He was only associated with it, a memoir. So the, uh, Soviet official, there was, uh, a group of slightly older people and Cambridge, uh, professionals who were kind of theoretical [00:08:00] communes.They had seen, uh, The same situation and they had earlier, uh, decided to that, that made that same decision, the crucial, uh, point, uh, political point, listen to general strike in the early 1920s where, uh, coal miners were, had their incomes cut below the subsistence level by the coal owners. And they went on strike and.

Roland Philipps takes us to France on the eve of occupation. We follow the shifting fortunes of an extraordinary female double agent - Mathilde Carré, ‘La Chatte’ - whose life embodies the moral ambiguity of this period of French history. Mathilde story – as told in our guest today’s latest book, Victoire: A Wartime Story of Resistance, Collaboration and Betrayal – illustrates the dark complexities of life in Vichy France. She was neither a perfect French patriot, nor a heartless traitor. What she was, however, was a survivor.  Roland Philipps was a leading publisher for many years. His first book, A Spy Named Orphan: The Enigma of Donald Maclean, was published in 2018.  As ever, much, much more about this episode – including contemporary photographs of Vichy France and Mathilde - is to be found at our website tttpodcast.com. Show notes Scene One: 17th June 1940.  The Loire.  France is collapsing in the face of the Wehrmacht’s lightning war, millions are fleeing Paris and the north in ‘the Exodus’, amongst them Mathilde Carré, who has left her nursing station and is following the war south, outraged at what she sees as the cowardice of her country. Scene Two: Mid-September 1940.  Toulouse.  The Vichy government is in place and France is divided between the occupied and non-occupied zones. Despair of Mathilde, about to commit suicide when she decides to become ‘a second Joan of Arc’. Scene Three: 14th November 1940. Paris. Mathilde Carré arrives in Paris to found the Interallié intelligence network with Roman Czerniawski.

Acclaimed author and journalist Simon Kuper, has written The Happy Traitor, the story of British spy and Soviet Union double agent George Blake, the last major British traitor of the Cold War.In 1961, Blake was sentenced to forty-two years imprisonment – at the time, the longest sentence in modern British history. He had betrayed all the western spying operations that he knew about to the KGB. This included the names of hundreds of British agents working around the world. About forty of them are believed to have been executed. Blake is reckoned to have done as much damage to British interests as did his Moscow companions Kim Philby and Donald Maclean – perhaps more.Today, his story is known only to a few experts, and only insofar as anything can be known for certain in the world of deceit that is spying. MI6 has never made its files on him public. Now that the master spy has died, Simon Kuper finally sets the story straight. He unravels who Blake truly was through a combination of personal interviews, research in many languages, and use of almost unseen Stasi archives. His illuminating biography tracks Blake from his beginnings as a teenage courier for the Dutch underground during the Second World War, to his sensational prison-break from Wormwood Scrubs, to his tranquil old age in a dacha outside Moscow, where Kuper caught up with and interviewed him.There is more information and details of a book giveaway in our episode notes here https://coldwarconversations.com/episode164/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/coldwarpod)

Donald MacLean

In 1951, Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean, two British foreign office employees, scrambled onto a boat. Their destination, Moscow. But they weren't on a mission, they were defecting. This would be the first event in a chain reaction which lead to the biggest scandal in British intelligence and one that has inspired countless works of fiction.

With less than a week before our PuckTalks live event at The Rec Room in St John's (Sept 14, 7-10pm) we catch up with an old friend of Terry's, Donald "Daddy Mack" MacLean.  From Bedford, NS, Donald was a multisport athlete who locked in on hockey and found his way all over the world with the game, including some time right here in St John's with the Baby Leafs. He also spent some time with the Coyotes franchise and had Wayne Gretzky as a coach - which wasn't like you might expect. We also talk up the massive victory by Bianca Andreescu at the US Open and if pitch counting is hurting or helping young ball players. All that and more on this week's Third Man In, brought to you by HeadCheck Health. If you're in town and want to come see the PuckTalks show on Saturday you can reserve a spot here: https://homestandsports.com/event/puck-talks-presents-third-man-in-podcast-live/ Shop and more at 3MIPodcast.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/3mipodcast/message

With American intelligence drawing ever closer to the Cambridge ring, a plan is hatched to exfiltrate Donald Maclean -- a plot in which Guy Burgess had a key role. The revelation of the depth of Soviet infiltration would shake the very foundation of trust and cooperation between the the great western powers of the age.

After World War II, the globe was divided in half between the capitalist West and the communist Soviet Union. Even though no shots were fired during the Cold War, the intelligence agencies of these two spheres were constantly vying for critical information that could give their side an edge. In the United Kingdom, Donald Maclean graduated from the right school. He attended the right university. He came from good British stock. And he entered public service just as his country desperately needed intelligent and capable young men to help combat the rise of fascism in continental Europe. Donald Maclean was also a Soviet spy. To talk about Maclean's life as a Soviet agent, I am joined by Roland Philipps. He is the author of A Spy Named Orphan: The Enigma of Donald Maclean. Roland went into publishing on graduating from Cambridge and until recently was the publisher of the author John Murray. He has edited leading novelists, politicians, historians, travelers, and biographers. A Spy Named Orphan, his first book, arises from lifelong connections to Donald Maclean and Roland's grandfather was Roger Makins, Maclean's boss at the British Foreign Office. He is currently working on a new book about Special Operations Executive, the Double-Cross system, Collaboration and Resistance in the Second World War.

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."

We go deep under cover talking about one of the Cold War's biggest players with book author Roland Philipps ("A Spy Named Orphan: The Enigma of Donald Maclean")

The 2018 St Antholin Lecture delivered by Dr Donald John MacLean. "Ours is a true church of God" : William Perkins and the Reformed Doctrine of the Church. Dr MacLean explores the doctrine of the church found in the writings of the great Elizabethan theologian William Perkins. Particular focus will be given to Perkins' understanding of the "marks" of the church and its application.

Donald Maclean, code name Orphan, was the most enigmatic member of the infamous Cambridge spies. Like the rest of that extraordinary group, Maclean was recruited while at university to become a mole for Russia’s Communist regime during the Cold War, leaking huge amounts of top-secret British intelligence before he was forced to disappear. On a damp day in April this year, author Roland Phillipps took Alex Clark on a tour of Whitehall, where Donald worked for the Foreign Office and spied for the Russians, to explain why he decided to write A Spy Named Orphan, and to give us an insight into what made Maclean go from gifted diplomat to dangerous traitor.A Spy Named Orphan, The Enigma of Donald Maclean by Roland Philipps http://po.st/VcqTxR Follow us on twitter: twitter.com/vintagebooksSign up to our bookish newsletter to hear all about our new releases, see exclusive extracts and win prizes: po.st/vintagenewsletter See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We are joined once again by the lawyer and university lecturer Adeyinka Makinde for an in-depth interview on the subject of his recent essay, "Britain and Russia: An Enduring But Fruitless Rivalry". The crisis between Britain and Russia over the alleged poisoning of Sergei Skripal is the latest episode in what has been in recent years a de facto "Cold War" between Russia and the West. However, friction between Russia and Britain is longstanding; indeed it has spanned the centuries—a recurring clash of civilisations fuelled by cultural differences, imperial ambition and ideological antagonism—and manifest today in the West's attempts to maintain its global dominance in the face of a surgent Eurasia with Russia at its centre. But with the ideological "Cold War" of the Soviet years a thing of the past, we must surely pause to ask: Why is Britain prolonging this fruitless "rivalry" with a distant Eurasian power? Whose interests does it serve? And is there, perhaps, a more constructive and, frankly, safer way forward? Adeyinka Makinde trained for the law as a barrister. He lectures in criminal law and public law at a university in London, and has an academic research interest in intelligence & security matters. He is a contributor to a number of websites for which he has written essays and commentaries on international relations, politics and military history. He has served as a programme consultant and provided expert commentary for BBC World Service Radio, China Radio International and the Voice of Russia.

I got an email from Iona last week. They said they are about to release final CD. The band is not breaking up, but the changing music industry is forcing them to change how they release music, or in their case, stop releasing it. This is a good time to point out that if you enjoy the music of bands in this podcast, there are several important things you can to do. If you still buy CDs, buy one from one of these bands. If not, buy downloads or band merchandise. Or if you're streaming music (outside of this podcast, of course), then follow the bands on Spotify or whatever streaming website they prefer. Finally, I'm planning to do more Spotify promotions. So if you have any Celtic music playlists on Spotify, I'd love to hear from you. Drop me an email. If you want to find 11 more ways you can help support these bands, go to songhenge.com. This simple easy list will do a lot to help your favorite bands succeed.   VOTE IN THE CELTIC TOP 20 It's easier than ever to do. Just list the show number, and the name of one or two bands.

Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Michael Finlay emailed: "Just letting you know, I'm a new listener, though I should have been listening ages ago. I'm from Chicago but my Dad was from Liverpool, and I spent quite a lot of time in the British Isles. I'm deep in the bowels of NaNoWriMo at the moment and your show has been providing me with the most perfect soundtrack to keep my butt focused on finishing this project. You're doing amazing work. Thank you!" Trish Bartley shared the first podcast of 2018 on Facebook and wrote: "This week's podcast is full of gorgeous songs to drive by! Makes my 45 minute commute "almost" too short. Lol. Thanks Marc Gunn! Awesome job!" George Mears emailed: "Marc, I've been a lurker for years as I've stumbled through adulthood, fatherhood, husbandhood, and school. I've become a patron but I didn't see any opportunity to make a one time donation, which i'd like to do for all the ... years I've been mooching. Any easy answer or should I just mail you cash?"
