What is With My Little Eye : Observations Along the Way about?

In "With My Little Eye," Elliott gives an account of his last contacts with Kim Philby, in 1963. Philby, with whom Elliott had worked in Beirut, had been a friend, and Elliott felt his betrayal bitterly. He volunteered to confront Philby to obtain a written confession of his espionage. Though Philby did confess to Elliott, he delayed signing a confession and fled to Moscow, where he was granted Soviet citizenship. Public criticism of MI6, which had failed to guard against his escape, was significant. Elliott, however, felt he could not have prevented Philby's flight.
