520 1 $a"Soviet Master Spy Walter G. Krivitsky was a small, dapper and very nervous man who happened to be the first and one of the key defectors to warn the West early on about the Stalin regime. He became friends with Whittaker Chambers, encouraging him to come forward and thus precipitating the Alger Hiss case. Krivitsky provided the British with clues that would certainly have unmasked the Philby spy group, but following his debriefing in London he was found out by Anthony Blunt, who warned Moscow. And Krivitsky was found dead in the Bellevue Hotel in front of Union Station in Washington, D.C. This is the first book to recover all original documents released by the British archives and the FBI in 2002-2003."--BOOK JACKET.
