From the end of the First World War to the end of the Cold War, Graham Greene chronicled the world in his journalism and in his novels. Through his fame and the vast sales of his books, he brought news of a tumultuous world to his readers. As The Times obituary remarked after his death in 1991, ‘No serious writer of the century has more thoroughly invaded and shaped the public imagination.’   In Our Man, Maurice Walsh challenges the narrative of Greene’s private afflictions of an upper middle class English Catholic convert, and places him in the volatile world he sought out so veraciously. In doing so, Greene provides a unique prism on how the world was shaped, from the era of fascism and world wars to the Cold War and decolonisation.    Part biography, part history and part travel, Our Man brings Graham Greene’s world vividly to life.
