Philby was one of the leaders of the British counter-intelligence efforts, first against the Nazis, then against the Soviet Union. He was also the KGB's most valuable double-agent, so highly regarded that his image is on the postage stamps of the Russian Federation even today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Before he was exposed, Philby was the mentor of James Jesus Angleton, one of the central figures in the early years of the CIA who became the long-serving chief of the counter-intelligence staff of the Agency. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e James Angleton and Kim Philby were friends for six years, or so Angleton thought. Then they were enemies for the rest of their lives.
