| Samenvatting | Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn had no idea of what they would discover when they set out for Hong Kong, China, and Burma in 1941. They had intended to report on the China-Japan war while honeymooning in the Far East but what they found was entirely different and the trip proved to be the beginning of the end of their marriage. When the U. S. Treasury Department hired Hemingway as a spy in China in 1941, it awakened a new obsession in America's most adventuresome author. The literary man of action reveled in being a government operative, while his journalist wife championed the anti-Japanese resistance of Chiang Kai-shek. This is the first book to track Hemingway's progress as a spy in Asia. |
