Senior, Antonia

Antonia Senior has done that rare thing, written an account of the Cambridge Five with an historian’s fidelity to fact and a novelist’s eye for character. Her meticulous research and elegant writing bring to life the story of class-conscious Englishmen whose youthful embrace of Communism led to the 20th century’s most audacious spy network. It’s a spellbinding tale of espionage, friendship, and betrayal.
