An intriguing account of the Cambridge spies. Interesting, amusing and somewhat impertinent, it makes the entire pre-World War II and Cold War era of intrigue seem little more than a playground for the privileged; spying as a cure for boredom and socialism as a lofty objective, albeit somewhere deep in the horizon and far from their extravagant lifestyles.
The narrative can be a little heavy at times, but overall a gratifying read.
