Graham Greene

Graham Greene was born in 1904 and grew up in the school of which his father was headmaster, an awkward position among pupils who tormented him. Having converted to Catholicism in 1926, he was recruited by the secret services in 1941, spent more than a year in Sierra Leone, then worked in London under a man who would turn out to be a Soviet agent, and with whom he remained in contact. He travelled as a reporter to Liberia, Mexico and Indochina. He died in Switzerland in 1991.
