- Double-weighted statement
- The Shadow Man warrants double weighting on the grounds of the scale of research and the scope of the output. This substantial political biography arises from five year’s research into James Klugmann’s life including into hitherto unknown archive material from newly-released MI5 and Special Operations Executive intelligence files and material drawn from Soviet archives. It is the only full account of Klugmann, a committed communist closely involved with Cambridge spies Burgess, Maclean, Blunt and Cairncross. The analysis set out in this extended piece of work explores his political loyalties and his role in the Cambridge spy circle.
