Product Description

Review
"As comical, satirical, atmospherical an "entertainment" as he has given us" ( Daily Telegraph)
"He had a sharp nose for trouble and injustice. In Our Man In Havana - a witty send-up of an agent's life - it was Cuba before Castro" ( Financial Times)
"Nobody should be anywhere near power who hasn't read (or seen the film of) Our Man in Havana, a powerful satire on the silly world of spying by a man who had experienced it" ( Mail on Sunday)
"Graham Greene was a profound and experimental stylist" ( Time Out)
"The human story is warm and the satire made me laugh out loud" (Simon Shepherd Daily Express)
