The Greatest Treason by Richard Deacon
The author claims that the Fifth Man was not, as "Spycatcher" contends, Roger Hollis, but Guy Liddell, who was part of a mostly homosexual set of aristocratic pro-Soviets that included Anthony Blunt, Guy Burgess and Louis Mountbatten. By sabotaging a defector's attempted warning to the Americans of Japanese plans to attack Pearl Harbour, Liddell may have changed the whole course of the war. Mountbatten, it is claimed, was a long-term communist sympathiser and homosexual and as a result the Americans always believed him to be a security risk. In the 1950s, it is claimed, he was sending secret messages to the Soviets including a pledg that in the event of a showdown between the Soviets and the Americans, he would be on the Soviet side.| SKU | Unavailable |
