The Rothschilds, the KGB Masterspy and the Gay Royal Traitor: The Fifth Man Update

The UK’s Cambridge University Ring of Spies were the most dangerous agents the West has known, causing great damage to the intelligence services in the UK and US over more than half a century. Four double agents of the key Ring, Burgess, Maclean, Philby and Blunt were uncovered by 1979. Only two – a husband and wife team – escaped detection. This updated edition of The Fifth Man reveals that the last of the infamous spy ring were Lord (Victor) Rothschild of the grand banking dynasty and his wife Tess.

Professor Roland Perry exposes how they became super spies, working concurrently with British Intelligence, the KGB and Mossad. With information from the KGB’s finest master Control, Yuri Modin, devastating testimony from the former head of the KGB and Soviet military intelligence (the GRU), Ivan ‘The Terrible’ Serov, former UK Soviet Embassy spy, Vladimir Barkovsky and a raft of others.

After their WW2 espionage for Stalin, which helped defeat Hitler and the Nazis, the brilliantly deceptive Rothschilds went on spying for the Russians well into the Cold War. They contrived in a genius elevation of spy craft to divert suspicion from themselves to the innocent figure of MI5’s Director, Roger Hollis, and a score of others.

The Fifth Man update includes thirty more years of deep research in Russia, the UK, the US, France and Australia in the compilation of an extended and compelling narrative. According to the leading publisher of espionage books in the Cold War period, Pan Macmillan’s William Armstrong, this book explained the entire mystery of the main 20th Century British double agents.

In an additional expose here, Roland Perry makes a strong case beyond the circumstantial for naming Anthony Blunt, the fourth member of the Ring, as the bastard child of King George V. Blunt was an MI5 agent and curator of the Royal pictures working for his half-brother King George VI, and niece, Queen Elizabeth II.
