Here is the true story of how the American James Bond―the colorful, foulmouthed, pistol-packing, alcoholic ex-FBI agent William “King” Harvey―put the finger on Philby; how James Jesus Angleton, the chain-smoking poet of Yale University and the CIA’s supposed “master spy” in charge of counterintelligence, began his descent into a paranoid wilderness of mirrors upon learning of family friend Kim Philby’s ultimate betrayal
