Henry Graham Greene was an English writer and journalist regarded by many as one of the leading novelists of the 20th century. Combining literary acclaim with widespread popularity, Greene acquired a reputation early in his lifetime as a major writer, both of serious Catholic novels and of thrillers. He published 'Ministry of Fear' in 1943 about the Nazi regime, which coerced individuals into co-operation through blackmail. It was adapted the next year into a film by the same name, directed by Fritz Lang and starring Ray Milland.
