A Spy Named Orphan
Donald Maclean was a star diplomat, an establishment insider and a keeper of some of the West’s greatest secrets. He was also a Russian spy... Codenamed ‘Orphan’ by his Russian recruiter, Maclean was Britain’s most gifted traitor. But as he leaked huge amounts of top-secret intelligence, an international code-breaking operation was rapidly closing in on him. Moments before he was unmasked, Maclean escaped to Moscow. Drawing on a wealth of previously classified material, A Spy Named Orphan now tells this story for the first time in full, revealing the character and devastating impact of perhaps the most dangerous Soviet agent of the twentieth century. ‘Superb’ William Boyd ‘Fascinating... An exceptional story of espionage and betrayal, thrillingly told’ Philippe Sands ‘A cracking story... Impressively researched’ Sunday Times ‘Philipps makes the story and the slow uncovering of [Maclean’s] treachery a gripping narrative’ Alan Bennett
A Divided Life
This is a biography of one of the last of the ideological spies, belonging to the important group the author calls the Cambridge Comintern. Robert Cecil, a close acquaintance of Maclean at Cambridge and in the Diplomatic Service with him at the time of his defection, also knew Philby, Blunt and Burgess.
Deceiving the Deceivers
Among the more sensational espionage cases of the Cold War were those of Moscow’s three British spies—Kim Philby, Donald Maclean, and Guy Burgess. In this riveting book, S. J. Hamrick draws on documentary evidence concealed for almost half a century in reconstructing the complex series of 1947–1951 events that led British intelligence to identify all three as Soviet agents. Basing his argument primarily on the Venona archive of broken Soviet codes released in 1995–1996 as well as on complementary Moscow and London sources, Hamrick refutes the myth of MI5’s identification of Maclean as a Soviet agent in the spring of 1951. British intelligence knew far earlier that Maclean was Mosco...

Donald and Melinda Maclean
Donald and Melinda Maclean: Idealism and Espionage, uses family correspondence, unpublished diaries, and other archival material. It also makes extensive use of the official records of the Foreign Office and the United States Department of State to establish just what information Maclean had access to and was therefore in a position to transmit to Moscow. In order to help document the lives of Donald and Melinda Maclean in the Soviet Union, hitherto largely unknown in the West. Donald Maclean was privy to the Anglo-French discussions around Munich and the run up to what became the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. This changes our understanding of those negotiations. During and immediately after Worl...
The Fourth Man
On May 25, 1951, at the height of the cold war, two British diplomats, Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean, disappeared from Great Britain just as they were about to be apprehended as spies for the Soviet Union. The defection of these members of the establishment stunned the nation. The notorious case was reopened by the serialization in The (London) Observer of Andrew Boyle's book, "The Climate of Treason: Five Who Spied for Russia" which implied that "the fourth man," the Soviet agent who had tipped off Burgess and Maclean that British Intelligence was hot on their trail, was 72 year-old Sir Anthony Blunt, the highly respected art historian and Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures. A political stor...
All Things Are Ready
It is one of the glories of the gospel that it is universal in scope. There is nothing narrow or limited about the good news of salvation, but we often need reminded of this. When the world seems increasingly hostile the Church can be tempted to retreat in on itself. Donald John Maclean seeks to remind Christians of the fullness and freeness of the gospel, and to encourage them to share it with those who have not yet turned to Christ.
