A society that created misfits who then took their revenge as a proof of their maladjustment, and of course condemned for being maladjusted. A perfect example of societal schizophrenia. But well done to the author for bringing it out and his impeccable research.

I know St John the Evangelist church, West Meon, and of course Burgess' grave. It's his mother's association.. It 's a lovely setting. Thank you for posting this. It was very interesting.

English upper society is incredible: l only looked up Nicholson in wiki and his wife’s (completely open bisexual duo marriage!) mum was the Prince of Wales’ mistress. 😮 it’s going to be fun to look up the rest

I'm in the US, and I found: "Stalin's Englishman : Guy Burgess, the Cold War, and the Cambridge spy ring" by the same author. Is it the same book?
