This is a paperbound reprint of a 2006 book. After his third wife, writer Martha Gellhorn, convinced him to accompany her on a trip to Asia, Ernest Hemingway was recruited by the US Treasury
Department as a spy to report on the ongoing China-Japan war. Moreira (senior writer for the New York-based weekly The Deal) describes the trip, in which the travelers met Madame Chiang
Kai-Shek and Communist Party leader Chou En-Lai, among other adventures. He also discusses how the trip helped precipitate the break-up of the marriage. Distributed by Books International.
