Graham Greene often described the conflict between the west and native cultures through the eyes of middle aged English observers. His novel The Quiet American became an instant hit with foreign journalists covering the Vietnam War in the 1960s. In other novels such as Our man In Havana he made fun of the intelligence community. In The Comedians he described western expats stranded in a corrupt state. Click here or here to watch a movie version(photo above) of The Quiet American (2001).
