A riveting portrait... Publishers Weekly
"A splendidly perceptive life of Donald Maclean... [Cecil] provides, for the first time, a clear and detailed account by a Foreign Office colleague who knew Maclean, came from a similar background, and comprehends the unspoken assumptions of his time and class." The Economist
"[Cecil's] insider's account both of uneasy U.S.-British relations and of the intelligence establishment's equivocal reaction to these scandals is an undercover story in its own right." Booklist
"The portrait of Maclean is convincing and the assessment of the damage done to Anglo-American interests... is knowledgeable and shrewd." The Financial Times
"Delivered in a crisp, literate. no-nonsense style, this compact biography offers an agreeably narrow focus on a spy-tangle that often seems dauntingly dense." Kirkus Reviews
Robert Cecil spent a long career in the British diplomatic service. He was with Maclean at Cambridge and served with him in various diplomatic postings. He lives in England.
