Six celebrated bids for freedom, in dramatic reconstruction
3: Kim Philby by HUGH CONNOR
' Kim's had 20 years in the Service. He's done some brilliant work. Now I have to find out how much damage he's done ... in case he does a bunk.'
Beirut, in the autumn of 1962, was the setting for the most unlikely de-briefing of the master spy's amazing career.
