520    "The Cambridge Spies continue to fascinate - but one of 
       them, John Cairncross, has always been more of an enigma 
       than the others. He worked alone and was driven by his 
       hostility to Fascism rather than to the promotion of 
       Communism. During his war-time work at Bletchley Park, he 
       passed documents to the Soviets which went on to influence
       the Battle of Kursk. Now, Geoff Andrews has access to the 
       Cairncross papers and secrets, and has spoken to friends, 
       relatives and former colleagues. A complex individual 
       emerges - a scholar as well as a spy - whose motivations 
       have often been misunderstood. After his resignation from 
       the Civil Service, Cairncross moved to Italy and here he 
       rebuilt his life as a foreign correspondent, editor and 
       university professor. This gave him new circles and 
       friendships - which included the writer Graham Greene - 
       while he always lived with the fear that his earlier 
       espionage would come to light. The full account of 
       Cairncross's spying, his confession and his dramatic 
       public exposure as the 'fifth man' will be told here for 
       the first time, while also unveiling the story of his post
       -espionage life."--|cProvided by publisher.
