Spy Games

In January 1941, Martha received an assignment from Collier’s Magazine to go to China, and Hemingway accompanied her, sending dispatches to the PM newspaper. However, he disliked China. In 2009, the book “Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America” was released, revealing surprising and previously unknown facts about Hemingway…

In 1941, the KGB secretly recruited Hemingway before his trip to China. He was given the code “Argo” and was willing to spy for the Russians. However, according to former KGB officer Alexander Vassiliev and the book’s author, it amounted to nothing, as Hemingway never gave them any political information or anything that could be verified.
