de renseignement britannique. Ce sont aussi des amis indéfectibles. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Philby et Elliott resteront les gars en or du MI6, tandis qu'Angleton ne tardera pas à devenir le jeune chef du bureau de contre-espionnage de la CIA. Pendant plusieurs décennies, ils vont partager tous leurs secrets. Mais Philby garde pour lui une information capitale : il travaille en sous-main pour Moscou, et transmet les confidences de ses amis à ses maîtres espions soviétiques. L'Espion qui trahissait ses amis est une histoire de loyauté et de félonie sur fond de guerre froide. C'est le récit d'une bataille idéologique entre amis tout à fait exquis et parfaitement impitoyables, menée dans les restaurants chics de Londres, de Washington et de Beyrouth. À l'aide de documents personnels inédits et d'archives récemment déclassifiées, Ben Macintyre retrace ici brillamment le parcours de Kim Philby, le transfuge le plus scandaleux du XXe siècle.
