Author: Geoff AndrewsTitle: The Shadow ManBinding: PaperbackNumber Of Pages: 288Release Date: 0000-00-00Details: James Klugmann appears as a shadowy figure in the legendary history of the Cambridge spies. As both mentor and friend to Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess and others, Klugmann was the man who manipulated promising recruits deemed ripe for conversion to the communist cause. This perception of him was reinforced following the release of his MI5 file and the disclosure of Soviet intelligence files in Moscow, which revealed he played a key part in the recruitment of John Cairncross, the 'fifth man', and had a pivotal war-time role in the Special Operations Executive, helping shift Churchill and the allies to support Tito and the communist partisans in Yugoslavia. In this book, Geoff Andrews reveals Klugmann's story in full for the first time, uncovering the motivations, conflicts and illusions of those drawn into the world of communism - and the sacrifices they made on its behalf.EAN: 9781350405233Package Dimensions: Height: 8.4499831 inches, Length: 5.4499891 inches, Weight: 0.81 pounds, Width: 0.9 inches Show more
