New York: Morrow (imprint of Harper Collins), (2017) dj. Hardcover first edition - A book which reveals the extent of Hemingway's involvement in espionage from the Spanish Civil War through the post World War II world, by the former While he was the historian at the CIA Museum, and an American intelligence officer - "a mysterious and shocking relationship that was far more complex, sustained, and fraught with risks than has ever been previously supposed.. his troubling recruitment by Soviet spies to work with the NKVD, the forerunner to the KGB. Starting with Hemingway's sympathy to antifascist forces during the 1930s, Reynolds illuminates Hemingway's immersion in the life-and-death world of the revolutionary left, from his passionate commitment to the Spanish Republic; his successful pursuit by Soviet NKVD agents, who valued Hemingway's influence, access, and mobility; his wartime meeting in East Asia with communist leader Chou En-Lai, the future premier of the People's Republic of China; and finally to his undercover involvement with Cuban rebels in the late 1950s and his sympathy for Fidel Castro. He explores Hemingway's participation in various roles as an agent for the United States government, including hunting Nazi submarines with ONI-supplied munitions in the Caribbean on his boat, Pilar; his command of an informant ring in Cuba called the 'Crook Factory' that reported to the American embassy in Havana; and his on-the-ground role in Europe, where he helped OSS gain key tactical intelligence for the liberation of Paris and fought alongside the U.S. infantry in the bloody endgame of World War II."Illustrated with photographs.
