Books about Burgess


I've been watching Cambridge Spies like mad over the last few days, and have really become fascinated by the character of Guy Burgess. Can anyone reccomend a biography written about him that might give me some more information?

not sure about books ..but you must find "An Englishman Abroad" with Coral Browne and Alan Bates... a brilliant exploration of Burgess's time in Moscow.. and based on real events.

Released on DVD in the UK at least.

I can recommend "Stalin's Englishman: The Lives of Guy Burgess" by Andrew Lownie, available on Amazon.
