A case study in pathological lying: how much did Kim Philby see of or interact with Donald Maclean after Maclean's recruitment in 1934?
This should be a simple question. But Philby ensures it is anything but. A quick chronology.

Hi #IntelStudies, History and #UKHE folk generally.
What do you think about text books/general histories in terms of original research? How much archival stuff is needed to make it worth doing, if any? Does it need to be evenly distributed or can some chapters be primary heavy & others less so?

Confirmation of what has been suspected/known for a long time, the Cambridge "Ring of Five" was a Soviet construction, that the actual members did not recognise it as such. As far as Blunt was concerned a Ring should all know about each other, Cairncross did not. KV 2/4705
