His current reputation is as thin as the biographies are fat. Is there room on the shelf for yet another Philby book? Perhaps for a slim one. Amidst legal difficulties, Morris Riley has finally published his account of Philby. He tries to establish that Philby did more damage to British interests after 1951, when he was partly severed ...

... , and Knightley was around the Sunday Times at its peak - and during its subsequent decline - and a participant in a number of that paper's more famous (and infamous) episodes, including Thalidomide, the Hitler diaries (in which he was blameless, I hasten to add), and, most famous of all, the investigation of Philby. His work for the Insight team on Philby was the beginning of a career in which he has repeatedly brushed up against the secret warriors of Langley, Virginia, and SIS. The revelation here in respect of the Philby affair is his discovery, years later, that that Dennis Hamilton, the editor-in-chief of Times ...

The 'hidden years' in the title refers to the years Philby spent in Beirut, parked there by SIS. Thus we get short chapters on the overthrow of the Mossadeq government in Iran (which occurred before Philby arrived in Beirut); the curious 'invasion' of Lebanon by the US ...

... more circumspect, watchful of the libel laws. Following the Prime Minister's statement, the whispers might have ceased had Rothschild himself unwittingly - and so far unnoticed by the media - not re-opened the whole question of his relationship to the Cambridge Comintern in March 1987. In the Daily Express Lord Rothschild refuted the suggestion that he and Kim Philby had been friends, stating that "he had met Philby once only". (9 ). Really? It would appear that somebody had been lying for a number of years. In his book on Philby, The Third Man, E. H. Cookridge wrote: "During his first two years at Trinity, Kim Philby ...

... most thought at the time, or did the Swedes have something? A Good Companion? The recently published Oxford Companion to World War Two (Oxford, 2001) has been well received and in general it is a scholarly and full piece of work. But it contains at least two misleading entries. These relate to Rudolf Hess and Kim Philby. Lobster readers will need no introduction to the controversy about Rudolf Hess, which has frequently surfaced in its pages over the years. The author of the entry on Hess rehashes the old lone-pilot-on-a -crazy-mission story, dismissing all the work of Hugh Thomas (and others such as Peter Padfield) ...

... to the Foreign Office 'in late 1942' recommended that the war in Europe could be ended if the German General Staff were given a clear incentive to launch a coup. Essentially the authors of the document were arguing that the Foreign Office should back the Canaris-German resistance-Vatican proposal. This report had to cross the desk of Kim Philby a Soviet agent before it could be officially circulated to Ministers. Philby duly rejected the document, thus blocking any formal discussion of a peace deal that would be to the disadvantage of the Soviet Union.( [6 ] ) This now put Britain and the US in the position where, in order to dissuade the Soviets from continuing ...

... of The Mole (in Harper's (US) October 1983), Ron Rosenbaum presents an elegant version of the thesis of Golitsyn as plant. Or, more accurately, he presents Golitsyn as part of an older, more complex game designed to mess up James Angleton's head. Boiled down, Rosenbaum suggests that way back in the 1950s, Philby was the sharp end of a plan to confirm and exacerbate Angleton's paranoia about the omnipotence of the KGB, a plan whose climax was exposing Angleton's already powerful paranoid tendencies to Golitsyn - who confirmed every one of them, in spades. (This account does Rosenbaum little justice. His essay is extremely clever and runs through all the possible ...
