Our Man In Havana (1958) is a novel by British author Graham Greene. It was adapted into a movie in 1959, directed by Carol Reed and starring Alec Guinness.

Background

---

In August 1941, Graham Greene joined the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS or MI6). An interesting sidelight of Greene's tenure in the SIS is the story of Garcia: a double agent in Lisbon, who fed the Germans disinformation, pretending to control a ring of agents all over England, while all he was doing was inventing armed forces movements and operations from maps, guides and standard military references. Garcia was the inspiration for Wormold, a character in Our Man In Havana. Greene supposedly left the service in May 1944, although he continued to supply them with information until his death.
