Between 1937 and 1951, John Cairncross and the other members of the Cambridge Ring of Five (Kim Philby, Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess and Anthony Blunt), all entered into the service of the British state and into highly sensitive positions. All the while they were secretly leaking thousands of documents to Moscow. But why did they do it? What motivates a person to betray their country? Dr Chris Smith is Lecturer in History at Coventry University. He is author of The Hidden History of Bletchley Park (2015) and The Last Cambridge Spy (2019). He has also taught at Aberystwyth University, Worcester University, the University of Kent and Bournemouth University. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
