History Talks.The Treachery of Anthony Blunt

Presented by Gary Johnson

How did he spy for the Soviet Union and hide in plain sight for so many years?

Anthony Blunt was arguably one of Britain’s most treacherous spies who caused misery and death. In this talk I want to convince you that he was able to hide in plain sight because he was clever, articulate, devious and the British establishment were involved in a massive cover up. You will learn that his treachery was successfully hidden by:

  • The Cambridge University spy ring he recruited
  • His senior role in MI5
  • Connections to the British Royal Family
  • His considerable influence over politicians & the establishment

This is a powerful story of sex, spies, lies and intrigue that you shouldn’t miss.
