The shocking and gripping untold story of Ernest Hemingway's secret life as a spy for the OSS and NKVD before and during World War II, written by a former CIA officer and curator of the CIA Museum. A riviting international cloak-and-dagger epic ranging from the Spanish Civil War to the liberation of Western Europe, wartime China, the Red Scare of Cold War America, and the Cuban Revolution, this book reveals for the first time Ernest Hemingway?s secret adventures in espionage and intelligence during the 1930s and 1940s (including his role as a Soviet agent codenamed Argo), a hidden chapter that fueled both his art and his undoing.
