 | | They gained access to information about U.S. counterespionage efforts, plans for atomic bomb production, and military strategies during the Korean War and were able to pass this information on to the Soviets. |
 | | Of the tales of the Cambridge Three, that of Kim Philby is the most shocking, perhaps because Philby rose higher than the other two professionally, lasted longer wihout being discovered, and seemed to take more seriously the specific aim of betraying his country, the U.S., their secrets, and their operations. |
 | | After all three were recruited into espionage for the Soviets, their handlers directed them to discover all they could about counterespionage practices in the U.S. and Britain. |
