Spy Ernest Hemingway

Did you know that Ernest Hemingway, one of the most well-known American novelists and journalists, was a spy for both United States government and Soviet during Spanish Civil War, World War II, and Cold War?

Nicholas Reynolds, a former CIA agent and the author of the book “Writer, Sailor, Soldier, Spy: Ernest Hemingway's Secret Adventures, 1935-1961”, states: “The records of Hemingway’s relationship with the NKVD showed that a Soviet operative had recruited him on ideological grounds.” 

From the Spanish Civil War to the end of World War II, Hemingway used his reputation to fight fascism which made him become a promising candidate for both US and Soviet intelligence agencies. Gradually, Hemingway became more active in fighting against fascism.
