评分我看的是老师发的电子书版本。全文非常长大概一千多页吧。花了两星期半跳半看查关键字啃完了。 现在的唯一想法就是Philby真的好帅啊x 这本书真的有很多细节而且词藻很文艺,被我调侃称“心理描写细致入微”。里面常常出现不认识的词然而并没什么关系。 当历史作业的reference还...

评分勒卡雷曾说过受过私人教育的英国人是地球上最善于隐藏自己真实情感的人,没人像他们那样善解人意却让你无法了解他,即使他是你的亲密好友,他也不会向你坦白他的真情实感,他们永远表现得比你更聪明更风趣。 正因为这种特质,那种英国公学出身,被教育注定将成统治者...

Kim Philby was the greatest spy in history, a brilliant and charming man who rose to head Britain’s counterintelligence against the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War—while he was secretly working for the enemy. And nobody thought he knew Philby like Nicholas Elliott, Philby’s best friend and fellow officer in MI6. The two men had gone to the same schools, belonged to the same exclusive clubs, grown close through the crucible of wartime intelligence work and long nights of drink and revelry. It was madness for one to think the other might be a communist spy, bent on subverting Western values and the power of the free world.
But Philby was secretly betraying his friend. Every word Elliott breathed to Philby was transmitted back to Moscow—and not just Elliott’s words, for in America, Philby had made another powerful friend: James Jesus Angleton, the crafty, paranoid head of CIA counterintelligence. Angleton's and Elliott’s unwitting disclosures helped Philby sink almost every important Anglo-American spy operation for twenty years, leading countless operatives to their doom. Even as the web of suspicion closed around him, and Philby was driven to greater lies to protect his cover, his two friends never abandoned him—until it was too late. The stunning truth of his betrayal would have devastating consequences on the two men who thought they knew him best, and on the intelligence services he left crippled in his wake.
Told with heart-pounding suspense and keen psychological insight, and based on personal papers and never-before-seen British intelligence files, A Spy Among Friends is Ben Macintyre’s best book yet, a high-water mark in Cold War history telling.
近年来Burgess,MacLean和Blunt都有很不错的传记问世。但为剑桥spy ring中最关键人物的Philby作传的人倒是不多。严格来说这本书不是一本传记,也并没有用到太多第一手的新材料,但是作者不愧是记者出身,真的会讲故事,本书阅读的体验是非常棒的。不过仅仅以friendship这个视角来演Philby和Elliot之间的故事,虽然增加了可读性,但让整本书显得略单薄了。指责Philby的背叛是容易的,但却是思想上懒惰的—某些为Philby、Burgess、Blunt和甚至Graham Green所共同接受的观念,本书几乎只字未提,而这显得尤为可惜。
评分和后记一起看真是超级……unreliable narrator啊XD。(短期内不想再看非虚构了)
评分在kindle上看的,不确定是不是这个版本。感觉虽然作者找了很多资料,但是最后面拒绝见philby挺可惜的
评分Kim Philby: ‘I have always operated on two levels, a personal level and a political one. When the two have come into conflict I have had to put politics first.'
评分对这个案件略有了解,因此根本没想到这本书能够被写得如此妙趣横生。无数谍战趣闻,大量英国上层社会的细节,都被作者用英国人特有的语气写了出来。
