Kim Philby is perhaps the most notorious traitor in British History & the archetypal spy: ingenious charming & deceitful. The reluctance of the British & Russian governments to reveal full details of his career meant that for many years a shortage of evidence fuelled controversy. Was Philby an ideological spy working for the Soviet Union out of Communist conviction or was he prompted by a personality defect to choose a life of treachery? Was Philby the perfect agent the KGB masterspy or just plain lucky? In this new biography Edward Harrison re-examines the crucial early years of Philbys work as a Soviet agent & British intelligence officer using documents from the United Kingdom National Archives & private papers. He shows how Philby established an early pattern of deceit & betrayed his father St John Philby. But the book also demonstrates how in all the major decisions Philby slavishly sought to emulate his father. This contradicts the myth of independence Philby sought to propagate in My Silent War (his memoirs) along with other deceptions. Later chapters offer the first detailed study of Philbys work as a counter-espionage officer during the Second World War examining his rapid promotion & providing a substantial explanation of why he was appointed head of the anti-Soviet section of the British Secret Intelligence Service. Harrison also explains that Philby was never wholly trusted by the Soviet secret service. ...

Work with sexually exploited young people can be rewarding yet difficult. They can be hard to access often presenting challenging behavior. Sometimes it is painful to hear their life stories whether these include abuse through the internet or exploitation experienced through having been trafficked into & within the country. Jenny J. Pearce draws on young peoples voices to explore the difficulties that arise for researchers & for practitioners when working with sexually exploited young people. While child protection interventions must guide social work she argues that other agencies such as health education housing & training each have a role to play in supporting a sexually exploited young person. Challenging the uncritical acceptance of the child as victim the book suggests therapeutic outreach as an approach to working with sexually exploited young people that can complement child protection procedures support practitioners in the field & enhance the young persons sense of autonomy & responsibility during their transition to adulthood. The book advocates the relationship between practitioners & the young people they aim to support to be one of the most important resources in practice. Young People & Sexual Exploitation" will be essential reading for anyone interested in preventing the sexual exploitation of children & young people. It will be particularly relevant for academics students practitioners & policymakers in the fields of social policy & social work child & family work child protection & youth work." ...
