Finished "A Spy Among Friends: Kim Philby and the Great Betrayal" by Ben Macintyre (Double Cross, Operation Mincemeat).
The story of how Kim Philby as the consummate insider was able over a period of more than 20 years to betray so many British and American intelligence secrets and black ops to the Soviets.
There is an afterword by John le Carré which describes conversations he had with one of the principals (Elliott).
