In this short interview from PM, Donald Maclean talks about his new book, British Foreign Policy Since Suez. Speaking from Moscow, Maclean explains why he wrote the volume, while interviewer Jim Biddulph pushes unsuccessfully to persuade him to talk about his involvement in the notorious Cambridge spy ring.

Maclean fled to the USSR in 1951, along with fellow spy Guy Burgess. He went by the alias of Comrade Madzoevsky and worked initially as a translator, enjoying a comfortable life in Moscow with access to luxuries not available to the ordinary Soviet citizen.
