Stalin's Englishman: The Lives of Guy Burgess

Guy Burgess was a brilliant young Englishman who rose through the
ranks of MI5 and MI6 during the Cold War. But as a member of 'The
Cambridge Spies', he betrayed his country by regularly passing on
highly sensitive secret documents to his Soviet handlers.


Historian Andrew Lownie, author of 'Stalin's Englishman: The
Lives of Guy Burgess' - a Guardian Book of the Year and The Times
Best Biography of the Year - will talk about how Burgess was able
to avoid exposure as a traitor to his country through his
trademark charisma and a network of powerful political
connections.
