Publisher Comments:

Graham Greenes classic Cuban spy story, now with a new package and a new introduction First published in 1959, "Our Man in Havana" is an espionage thriller, a penetrating character study, and a political satire that still resonates today. Conceived as one of Graham Greenes entertainments, it tells of MI6s man in Havana, Wormold, a former vacuum-cleaner salesman turned reluctant secret agent out of economic necessity. To keep his job, he files bogus reports based on Lambs "Tales from Shakespeare" and dreams up military installations from vacuum-cleaner designs. Then his stories start coming disturbingly true.

Review:

As comical, satirical, atmospherical an [entertainment' as he has given us. (The Daily Telegraph, London)

A classic by Graham Greene. This stories tells the story of a vacuum-cleaner saleman who gets caught up in a web of false government reports and lies to make a little extra money. Unfortunately, his falsehoods lead to actual truths.
