{Graham} Greene's fiction has often riled Americans, but it appears that in real life too, his views caused the US government some concern.

Documents obtained by the Guardian under the US Freedom of Information Act disclose how officials in Washington went to extraordinary lengths to compile secret reports on the distinguished novelist over 40 years as he travelled the world in support of anti-US causes.

He was monitored when he stayed up talking to Fidel Castro until five in the morning, as well as when he and Yoko Ono heard actor Kris Kristofferson "eschewing women and whisky to discuss God, war and peace".
Declassified FBI files show that officials opened and read his correspondence when he was refused entry into the US during the cold war for briefly being a member of the Communist party
