Hemingway - The Final Years (Paperback, Revised)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days

Starting with the publication of For Whom the Bell Tolls, the
fourth and final volume of Reynolds's masterly biography covers
hunting trips with Gary Cooper, the end of his stormy relationship
with Martha Gellhorn, marriage to another journalist, Mary
Wellesley, and World War II activities that includeD patrolling the
Mexican coast for submarines and riding a landing craft onto a
Normandy beach on D-Day. Reynolds draws on newly-released material
and writes with sympathy and imagination to give a vivid insight
into his subjct. He charts the physical and mental deterioration
that took place before this winner of literary prizes, attractor of
women, money, friends and adventures fell into so deep a depression
that he took his own life. (Kirkus UK)
Michael Reynolds discovered the truth about Hemingway's activities
during the war years, which included running a counterintelligence
operation in Havana. The postwar period was the most productive of
Hemingway's writing life, when he authored the Pulitzer
Prize-winning The Old Man and the Sea and received the Nobel Prize.
Even as Hemingway graced the cover of Life magazine, his physical
and mental health deteriorated while his public image as hunter and
sportsman continued to demand the strenuous life. In 1961 he
committed suicide, leaving behind the stuff of which American myths
are made.
