A warning from history
The five "Cambridge Spies"
Thrilled to share below an article I've written on the Cambridge spy network using #MI5 #BritishIntelligence records declassified earlier this month.
Britain's search for the five #CambridgeSpies was the most complex and long-lasting counterintelligence investigation in modern British history. It tormented British counterintelligence for the best part of 30 years. The newly released records show, for the first time, how members of the Soviet network slipped through British security – but also how close British intelligence came to identifying them at various points.

I'm also posting some of the key documents from the records below

When & how did U.S. intel get the organizational chart of Stalin's SMERSH?
