{7 C wo W. C, Sullivan Y CONSPIRACY" as Lg A at MEMNMVLTaANaGUuUM We fe BIANLE an RE: BOOK REVIEW, "THE PHI BS THE AUTHORS: Page, Leitch, and Knightley are all employees of the "Sunday Times" of London, England, They are part of a group 7 tT 7 ‘t 2 referred to by that ne¥spaper as their "Insight Team" consisting of ten people who spent many months interviewing everyone they could locate who knew Philby. THE PUBLISHER: This book is published by Doubleday and Company, Incorporated, and Bureau files show we have had cordial relations with this company, « MENTION OF THE FBI: There are several places where the FBI is mentioned, For example, on page 159 the authors state that some Agents of the FEI were sent to England in 1943-44 and one of these Agents was "Melvin Purvis, the man who killed John Dillinger." This is, of course, not correct since Purvis was not in the Bureau in 1943-44, Again on page 244 the authors discuss the angry reaction of the Americans to the defection of Burgess and Maclean and Philby’s connection with it. They state that FBI men were enraged since their pursuit of Purgess was thwarted and "there was a picturesque moment when a “muscular, pistol-toting Agent strode into the British Embassy and demanded to question Philby about the whereabouts of Burgess." This, of course, is completely fictional. ACTION: It is recommended that this book be piaced in the Eureau Library. . wv v4 ; r ; 7
