In 1959, Graham Greene and his brother, the journalist Hugh Greene, published an anthology of spy literature titled The Spy's Bedside Book, an amalgam of fiction, reporting, and memoir that helped define the genre for decades to come. Aside from being wildly popular with readers and a useful guide to the burgeoning literature of espionage, the book was also believed to be revealing-German authorities reportedly secured 100 copies in order to scour the pages for tradecraft and secrets.
