Summary of Tim Milne's Kim Philby

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Kim Philby was a boy who was at Westminster School with me in 1925. He was the only person I had ever heard of before, and I did not know what to make of him. He was highly untypical of a public school boy. #2 Kim had a relatively easy life at school. He was not popular, but he was not unpopular either. He had something untouchable about him, a strong inner strength and self-reliance that made others respect him. #3 Kim was not a brilliant student. He took three years to get over the School Certificate, and he was placed fifteenth out of twenty-three boys in his final year. He never joined the Officers’ Training Corps, and he saved himself a lot of trouble and the appalling discomfort of the uniform. #4 Kim was prankish, but he had a strange sense of humor. He did not find many things funny, and he derived a harmless enjoyment from the discomfiture of others. He was never one to bully the smaller or weaker.
