The updated edition also includes new material about Kim Philby’s wife Aileen. After the spy scandal broke in 1951, MI5 tapped her phone. Attached is an extract from a conversation Aileen Philby (A) had with her old school friend Kit (K). Aileen thinks her innocent husband got mixed up in the whole scandal because “we had Guy (Burgess) living with us, when he ran away…We didn’t know a single thing.”
