The Unmasking of a Spy and Traitor: Harold Evans On How He and the London Sunday Times Exposed Kim Philby

A while back I read Harold Evans' book about his life working for newspapers and book publishers, My Paper Chase: True Stories of Vanished Times.

I was especially interested in his time as the editor of the London Sunday Times and how the Sunday Times' investigative team under Evans exposed "The Third Man," the notorious spy and traitor Kim Philby.

While searching for something else, I came across an excerpt of Evans' book that dealt with Philby (seen in the below photo).
