  Guy Burgess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Like most of the Cambridge five, he came from a privileged background, attending Eton College, and eventually attending Cambridge University, where he was recruited into the Cambridge Apostles, a secret, elite, debating society, whose members at the time included Anthony Blunt and Kim Philby.
At Cambridge, he had been a friend of Julian Bell, the English poet who was tragically killed driving an ambulance in that conflict.
He, and apparently the other members of the "Five" were also very divided about the impact of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which compromised their hard left ideals.

They were originally known as the Cambridge Spy Ring because all known members of the ring were recruited at Trinity College, Cambridge while members of the Cambridge Apostles, a secret, elite debating society based around Trinity and King's.
It is now widely accepted that the spy ring probably had more than five members, possibly many more, since three other persons are known to have confessed, several more were nominated in a confession, and strong circumstantial cases have been made against still others.
