 | | What remains beyond question is that Philby nullified much British and American espionage during and after World War II, spilling all to his Soviet masters, first as head of the Soviet desk of British counterintelligence and then, from 1949 to 1951, as Washington liaison with the CIA. |
 | | Philby, born Harold Adrian Russell, was the only son of St. John Philby, a British civil servant who sided with the colonies rather than the empire and became an adviser to King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia. |
 | | Philby met Burgess, Maclean and Blunt at Cambridge but insisted that they were not recruited there. |
