This year marks the 75th anniversary of the 1951 defection to Moscow of Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean, the moment that first exposed the Cambridge spy ring and sent shockwaves through the Cold War world.
In Stalin’s Apostles, Antonia Senior revisits the infamous Cambridge Five – Burgess and Maclean, Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt and John Cairncross – revealing new facts, showing how their betrayal reshaped global politics.
Antonia offers urgent lessons for understanding Russia’s complex relationship with the West today in this unflinching look at the Cambridge Five: a tale of treachery, arrogance, British exceptionalism … and murder.
