Info:
John Cairncross was among the most damaging spies of the 20th century. A member of the
infamous Cambridge spy ring, he leaked highly sensitive documents from Bletchley Park,
MI6, and the Treasury to the Soviet Union - including the first Atomic secrets and raw
decrypts from Enigma and Tunny that influenced the outcome of the Battle of Kursk.
Based on newly released archival materials, this biography will be the first to cover
the life and espionage of this singularly important spy. In 2014 Cairncross appeared
as a secondary, though key, character in the biopic of Alan Turing's life, The
Imitation Game. The result was considerable negative reaction within the national
press. Despite this clear interest, the function filled by Cairncross remains an
untold story. Where all of the other members of the Cambridge spy ring have been the
subject of extensive biographical study, Cairncross has largely been omitted by both
academic and popular writers, and no biography has yet been penned of his life.
