This groundbreaking historical novel, rooted in documented facts and the author's extensive research and personal experience, unveils the infamous relationship between British spy Harold "Kim" Philby and CIA Associate Deputy Director James Jesus Angleton. Commander Anthony Wells utilizes his insider knowledge of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance to present compelling theories. The narrative spans from WWII to the Cold War, offering fresh insights into the Philby-Angleton dynamic, especially during Philby's tenure as MI6's liaison at the British Embassy in Washington, DC, and his eventual defection to the Soviet Union. Wells examines how this relationship influenced pivotal events like the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the assassination of President Kennedy. He highlights critical factors, judgment errors, and operational blunders, exacerbated by the CIA's inner circle's arrogance and political tendencies, that culminated in the 1963 tragedy in Dallas. This thrilling blend of spy story and historical account captivates readers, prompting them to engage deeply with the plot and draw their own conclusions about the significant events presented. They will be compelled to read until the very last page.
