The Gloucestershire Echo on the Cambridge Spies event at Cheltenham Literary Festival
Brian Sewell speaks at The Cambridge Spies event at Cheltenham Literary Festival. The Gloucestershrie Echo describes the event…
‘The pacey and erudite event featuring a panel with intriguingly different perspectives on this scandalous famous five, from Brian Sewell (pupil and friend of Blunt) and Frances Cairncross (niece of ‘the fifth man’ John Cairncross) to security experts Alan Judd and Richard Aldrich, breathed life into the shadowy figures, examined the motives which made them the stuff of legend and their actions’ effects and, most rivetingly, shed light on the 1930s thinking which helped breed their treachery.’
