But Peter Wright never saw the genuine early files. They were doctored by Anthony Blunt, and the other members of Blunt's Cambridge spy ring, who were intent on covering their own tracks. Then they were doctored a second time by British intelligence to prevent anyone~including Wright~from finding out how much damage Blunt and his moles had done to England~and the United States. Mask of Treachery presents the first historical overview that places the intrigues of Anthony Blunt in their proper perspective both in America and England. It shows how Blunt and his homosexual friends served Moscow to achieve secret personal power and not for ideological reasons. In so doing, Blunt became the first British citizen to run a spy ring for Moscow; the damage Blunt and his moles caused has soured relations between the American intelligence community and British intelligence from World War II until today. For the first time, American intelligence officers speak out against the British cover~up that they have endured silently for nearly fifty years. Among the book's revelations are the following: The damage control by Blunt that hid Kim Phtlby's final sting against American intelligence. It was undiscovered for nearly twenty years . The treason attributable to the Duke of Windsor after he abdicated the throne, plus the relationship of his American~born wife, Wallis Simpson, to the Nazis . The first comprehensive portrait of Blunt's personal life and career based on documents and cross~checked by interviews. Thus Blunt becomes a different. more dangerous character than hitherto believed. He was not recruited by Guy Burgess. Nor was he the so~called fourth man. Blunt was the first man, and the worst. How Russian talent spotters on the ground at Cambridge University picked Blunt and aided him and his homosexual friends so that they successfully penetrated the British Foreign Office, British intelligence and counterintelligence, and the Royal Family plus the White House and the administrations of Presidents Roosevelt and Truman, and various divisions of American intelligence. A new understanding of the problems facing the FBI: the intertwining of the cases involving Whittaker Chambers, Elizabeth Bentley, the Institute of Pacific Relations, the confessed American agent Michael Straight, and Anthony Blunt. The first documented new information about the defections of Burgess and Maclean. How a famous British writer fingered Anthony Blunt to the FBI as far back as 1951. How the British then lied to the FBI and the CIA to prevent the Americans from learning the truth about Blunt and his Cambridge moles. The deadly secret that allowed Blunt to blackmail the British government into providing him and his friends Irnmunlty from prosecution. Based on thousands of documents. checked and cross~checked by more than four hundred interviews. Mask of Treachery is a remarkable dossier of spies, lies, buggery, and betrayal.
