Henry Graham Greene was an English novelist who was famous for his Catholic and thriller novels. People often regarded him as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. His take on the political as well as moral issues through the perspective of a Catholic garnered him immense love from the people.
MI6 (UK’s Secret Intelligence Service) admitted that Graham Greene used to spy for Britain. The first authorized history of MI6 also carried the names of Arthur Ransome, Compton Mackenzie, Somerset Maugham and Malcolm Muggeridge. However, Greene and other named by the MI6 later revealed that they were reluctant spies. The MI6 only used them due to their access and knowledge of exotic parts of the world.
