Kim Philby is often mentioned as the ringleader of the Cambridge Spy Ring, but an overwhelming amount of evidence points to the flamboyant and outlandish Guy Burgess as the most prolific and proficient of the group. What makes Burgess stand out, both personally and professionally?
In this episode, we'll:
- Explore the what motivated Burgess to turn on the country that showered him with status and privilege
- Study the social system that protected his often obvious treachery from exposure
- Examine Burgess as both an insider who was a product of his time and an outsider who never quite fit in with the era or his surroundings
- Contemplate the legacy of Burgess as an individual and the Cambridge Spy ring as a whole
