520    Exploring the backstory that led to the writing of Graham 
       Greene's beloved satirical spy novel, Our Man Down in 
       Havana evokes this pivotal time and place in the author's 
       life. When US immigration authorities deported Graham 
       Greene from Puerto Rico in 1954, the British author made 
       an unplanned visit to Havana and discovered that "every 
       vice was permissible and every trade possible" in a 
       Caribbean fleshpot of mafia-run casinos and nude revues. 
       The former MI6 officer had stumbled upon the ideal setting
       for a comic espionage story. Three years later, he 
       returned in the midst of Fidel Castro's guerrilla 
       insurgency against a US-backed dictator to begin writing 
       his iconic novel Our Man in Havana. Twelve weeks after its
       publication, the Cuban Revolution triumphed in January 
       1959, soon transforming a capitalist playground into a 
       communist stronghold. Combining biography, history, and 
       politics, Our Man Down in Havana investigates the real 
       story behind Greene's fictional one. This includes his 
       many visits to a pleasure island that became a 
       revolutionary island, turning his chance involvement into 
       a political commitment. His Cuban novel describes an 
       amateur agent who dupes his intelligence chiefs with 
       invented reports about "concrete platforms and 
       unidentifiable pieces of giant machinery." With eerie 
       prescience, Greene's satirical tale had foretold the Cold 
       War's most perilous episode, the 1962 Cuban Missile 
       Crisis. Exploiting a wealth of archival material and 
       interviews with key protagonists, Our Man Down in Havana 
       delves into the story behind and beyond the author's 
       prophetic Cuban tale, focusing on one slice of Greene's 
       manic life: a single novel and its complex history.
