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
