Stalin's Apostles
The Cambridge Five and the Making of the Soviet Empire
Book • 2024
Stalin's Apostles chronicles the Cambridge Five—Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt, Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, and John Cairncross—who met at university amid left-wing ferment and funneled top-secret intelligence to the USSR from the 1930s.
Their betrayals helped Stalin build a Red Empire, condemning millions in Eastern Europe to repression, while their 1951 unmasking rocked Britain.
Rife with code names, smuggled documents, clandestine rendezvous, and gin, the book blends impeccable research with the thrill of a spy thriller.
