    A society that created misfits who then took their revenge as a proof of their maladjustment, and of course condemned for being maladjusted. A perfect example of societal schizophrenia. But well done to the author for bringing it out and his impeccable research.

      ​@@yellowgreen5229 Don't be offensively stupid, They got a lot of people killed and attached themselves to a murderous, paranoid dictator. And they were, in most cases, massively privileged and in Burgess' case, downright spoiled.

    I know St John the Evangelist church, West Meon, and of course Burgess' grave. It's his mother's association.. It 's a lovely setting. Thank you for posting this. It was very interesting.

      English upper society is incredible: l only looked up Nicholson in wiki and his wife’s (completely open bisexual duo marriage!) mum was the Prince of Wales’ mistress. 😮 it’s going to be fun to look up the rest

    I'm in the US, and I found: "Stalin's Englishman : Guy Burgess, the Cold War, and the Cambridge spy ring" by the same author. Is it the same book?

    I enjoyed your Book very much. However Research on Anglo American Espinoge is very hard to take when one considers all of those Tortured and Murdered including those assisting us very Courageously in their home countries .Thank You for your work!

    It seems to me to be quite logical to lean towards Communism in England in the mid 30s…
