A member of the British establishment, Philby joined the Secret Intelligence Service in 1940, rose to the head of Soviet counterintelligence, and, as MI6's liaison with the CIA and the FBI, betrayed every secret of Allied operations to the Russians, fatally compromising covert actions to roll back the Iron Curtain in the early years of the Cold War. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten from Moscow in 1967, \u003ci\u003eMy Silent War\u003c\/i\u003e shook the world and introduced a new archetype in fiction: the unrepentant spy. It inspired John le Carré's Smiley novels and the later espionage novels of Graham Greene. Kim Philby was history's most successful spy. He was also an exceptional writer who gave us the great iconic story of the Cold War and revolutionized, in the process, the art of espionage writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kim Philby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.26w x 0.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375759833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/23\/2002 pg. 65\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/23\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhillip Knightley\u003c\/b\u003e is a journalist and the author of \u003ci\u003eMaster Spy: The Story of Kim Philby\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGraham Greene\u003c\/b\u003e was a member of the SIS and one of the most highly regarded English novelists of the twentieth century.
