...Betrayed a Generation, by three Sunday Times reporters who followed Philby's tracks for nearly a year, going back to examine his strained relations with his father (an explorer and Arabic scholar) and his record at Westminster public school and Cambridge. Author Cyril Connolly, the Earl of Birkenhead and a host of other critics reviewed the book by launching scathing philippics on Philby, but most scathing of all was the preface to the book itself (which will appear this month as a Book-of-the-Month Club selection in the U.S.). Written by Novelist John le Carr...
