About this listen
They were the embodiment of British class and education—and they betrayed it all.
During the mid-20th century, five men from Cambridge University infiltrated Britain’s most secretive institutions while secretly working for Soviet intelligence. Known as the Cambridge Five, they passed critical documents to Moscow during World War II and the Cold War, undermining Allied operations and nearly destroying international trust in British intelligence.
Cambridge Five: Britain’s Most Notorious Spy Ring is the definitive account of this extraordinary spy scandal. David G. Stone explores the lives, motivations, and exploits of Philby, Burgess, Maclean, Blunt, and Cairncross—offering insight into how ideology, arrogance, and loyalty to a cause helped them fool the world.
Perfect for listeners of Cold War history, British politics, and real-life espionage thrillers.
