Description
The Human Factor
Author: Graham Greene
Hardcover with dust jacket, in good condition.
The Human Factor by Graham Greene is a subtle and psychologically nuanced espionage novel that explores the moral ambiguities of loyalty, love, and betrayal during the Cold War. The story centers on Maurice Castle, a middle-aged British intelligence officer whose seemingly routine life is upended when a security leak prompts a search for a mole within the department. As suspicion and paranoia grow, Castle's own past—and his secret debt to a Communist agent who once helped his African wife escape apartheid—comes under scrutiny. Rather than focusing on action or suspense, Greene crafts a poignant meditation on the emotional costs of espionage, highlighting the quiet, often tragic conflicts between personal conscience and institutional duty.
