Did You Know?

In his autobiography, The Enigma Spy, published in 1997 (two years after his death), John Cairncross denied both that he was the supposed 'fifth man' and that such a person had ever existed. Critics at the time viewed this book as a last attempt to clear his name, though few appear to have been convinced.
