Do you think you know the story of the Cambridge Five? Think again. Join two authors who have written revelatory new books about Britain’s most notorious spy ring. In Master of Lies, Piers Blofeld uses extensive research and newly-released documents to position Anthony Blunt as not just “the fourth man” of the group, but the greatest spy-master of them all. Antonia Senior’s Stalin’s Apostles is a radical new look at the way The Five’s obsession with Communist ideology led them to betray their country and become tools in Stalin’s imperial scheme. Chaired by author, journalist, and broadcaster Terry Stiastny.
