Kim Philby, the so-called Third Man in the Cambridge spy ring, was the Cold War's most infamous traitor, a Soviet spy at the heart of British intelligence. Philby joined Britain's secret service MI6 during the war and went on to head the section tasked with rooting out Russian spies before becoming the service's chief liaison officer with the CIA. He betrayed hundreds of British and US agents to the Russians and compromised numerous operations inside the Soviet Union.

The Cold War’s greatest traitor wasn’t in Moscow—he was in MI6. Harold “Kim” Philby was the golden boy of British intelligence—handsome, brilliant, and deeply embedded in the highest levels of MI6. But behind the polished exterior was a double agent loyal to the Soviet Union. Over the course of two decades, Philby betrayed hundreds of operations, exposed agents, and fed a constant stream of secrets to Moscow. Kim Philby: The British Mole Who Betrayed the West is a gripping biography that explores how one man’s ideology, ambition, and duplicity changed the face of espionage forever.

He wasn’t supposed to rule. He wasn’t even supposed to be seen. But when the middle son of a dying dictator stepped into power, he didn’t just inherit a country. He inherited the bomb. This is the true story of Kim Jong Un, the most mysterious and dangerous leader of the modern era.

To say that the so-called Supreme Commanders of North Korea have been sticklers for submission would trivialize the more-than-troubling state of affairs that has plagued this precarious place for decades. The fearsome Kim regime, though relatively fresh in comparison to powerful dynasties that lasted for centuries, has become one of history's most controversial bloodlines, and not without cause.
