## Description

Buy The Last Cambridge Spy: John Cairncross, Bletchley Codebreaker and Soviet Double Agent by Christopher Smith (ISBN: 9780750981477) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: A great introduction to spy history - Really enjoyed this book! Smith has brought the shadiest of the 'Cambridge spies' into the light for a closer look. Not only focusing on his spy work, but also looking at the formative years of The Spy Who Didn't Quite Fit In, and going on to explore his life after he spied for the Soviet Union, means that this book creates a much more rounded image of quite a complicated man. It's an engaging account of how Cairncross arrived at Cambridge following a fairly lowly upbringing in a Scottish mining area, and his subsequent attempts to manage spying whilst navigating his work in places such as the Foreign Office and Bletchley. Never being accepted by the public school boys he worked with, and never quite getting the hang of spying, meant that his journey as a Soviet mole was bumpy to say the least. Smith tells an entertaining story whilst adhering to sound historical analysis - a must read for anyone looking for a way in to learning more about spy history.
Review: A bit dull. - Covers the basics.

*by A***R on 29 January 2023*

This is a very complex story about a spy that appears to have alluded the authorities for a considerable period of time. The style is very methodical and absorbing, although at times difficult to follow, nevertheless the author presents the details clearly. Whether there is still more to reveal is in my opinion still to be discovered?
