Man Burgess was the main, complex, and fascinating of "The Cambridge Spies" - Maclean, Philby, Blunt - fantastic teenagers recruited in the 1930s to betray their country to the Soviet Union. An interesting and charming associate to many, an unappealing, absolutely ruthless manipulator to others, Burgess increased through academia, the BBC, the Foreign Office, MI5, and MI6, increasing access to a large number of highly sensitive solution documents which he transferred to his Russian handlers. In such a first full biography, Andrew Lownie shows us how even Burgess's chaotic personal life performed nothing to avoid his penetration and betrayal of the British Intelligence Service. Even when he was under suspicion, the fabled attraction which had allowed many close personal human relationships with influential establishment statistics (including Winston Churchill) averted his visibility as a spy for many years. Through interviews with an increase of than 100 people who understood Burgess personally, many of whom haven't discussed him before, and the breakthrough of hitherto hidden knowledge data, Stalin's Englishman brilliantly unravels the many lives of Man Burgess in every their interesting, chilling, bright colored, tragi-comic wonder.
