Stalin's Apostles - The Cambridge Five and the Making of the Soviet Empire

The revelatory investigation of the Cambridge Five spy ring, inspired by new discoveries and a fresh perspective Using newly released files from archives in the UK and elsewhere, STALIN''S APOSTLES looks far beyond the English Channel to expose as never before the treachery of five evil men who met while at Cambridge University. Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Kim Philby, John Cairncross and the Keeper of the Queen''s Pictures, Anthony Blunt passed vast amounts of classified intelligence material to Stalin, which was crucial in enabling his strategy of international revolution through violent means. The Five were useful tools in that grand scheme and, as this enthralling new book reveals, they were directly and indirectly responsible for the death of thousands of men and women fighting against Soviet domination. STALIN''S APOSTLES is a radical new look at the way five members of the British establishment allowed their obsession with Communist ideology to overshadow any sense of morality or decency - or loyalty to their country.
