Stalin's Englishman reviewed in Independent
10 Sep 2015

A lovely review in the Independent of Stalin’s Englishman ‘As one of this country’s foremost literary agents, Andrew Lownie certainly knows what makes a good book, and in Stalin’s Englishman, he has delivered one of his own, many times over. This life – or, as his neat subtitle has it, "lives" – of Guy Burgess commands authority from page 1….The pace is brisk; the account of Burgess’s school days is, in its way, as absorbing as the pile-up of events surrounding his defection. The old ways of biography can still be the best.,,,a distinguished biography .’ http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/stalins-englishman-by-andrew-lownie-book-review-even-the-soviets-didnt-trust-guy-burgess-10494188.html
