"Judiciously edited and engagingly annotated, this collection of Greene's personal letters - including many that were unavailable to his official biographer - gives new perspective to a life that combined literary achievement, political action, espionage, travel, and romantic entanglement. Following Greene through joy and turmoil, from the gnarled and fissured forests of Indo-China to war-torn Sierra Leone, from the mountains of Switzerland to hotels in Havana, Richard Greene's superbly edited collection is a vivid portrait of a fascinating writer, a mercurial man of courage, wit, and passion."--BOOK JACKET.
