Treason of the Heart: From Thomas Paine to Kim Philby

More about the book

Exploring the motivations of British individuals who championed foreign causes, the narrative delves into the mindset of radicals and activists who believed they could impose their cultural values on others. These ideologues often resorted to violence, viewing their intervention as a moral imperative. While some were driven by a disdain for their own country, seeking to promote ideals they felt were suppressed at home, others were simply misguided in their approach to helping what they perceived as oppressed peoples.
