A review by coneyboro
The Human Factor by Graham Greene

4.0

A tender tale full of moral ambiguities written in the 1970's against the background of the Cold War and the defection of spies Burgess, Philby and McLean as well as apartheid in South Africa. The lives of bureaucrat Castle, his wife Sarah and young son are threatened when it emerges that there is a leak of information within the secret service.
Nobody comes out of this well, but my sympathies are totally with Castle and his young family.
