A Divided Life - A Biography of Donald MacLean ~ Robert Cecil

Large hard cover with dust jacket
First edition
Excellent condition

Robert Cecils A Divided Life offers a penetrating portrait of Donald Maclean, one of Britains most notorious Cold War spies. Drawing on personal acquaintance and diplomatic service experience, Cecil traces Macleans journey from a promising Cambridge graduate to a committed Soviet agent. Recruited by the Comintern in 1934, Maclean rose swiftly through the British Diplomatic Service, with key postings in Paris, Cairo, and Washington. His time in Washington (194448) was pivotal, as he accessed top-secret atomic intelligence, becoming Stalins most valuable source on U.S. nuclear capabilities. The biography explores Macleans ideological convictions, emotional breakdown, and eventual defection to the Soviet Union with Guy Burgess. Cecil also examines the broader damage to Anglo-American trust and the erosion of gentlemanly culture within the Foreign Office, offering historical insight into the Cambridge spy ring and the personal contradictions that defined Macleans double life.
