The Ministry of Fear

Blurb

The Ministry of Fear is a 1943 novel written by Graham Greene. It was first published in Britain by William Heinemann. It was made into the 1944 film Ministry of Fear, directed by Fritz Lang and starring Ray Milland.
It revolves around the relationship between Love and Fear. Whilst adopting the thriller form, with a heritage back to the espionage chase novel that is John Buchan's The 39 Steps, it has considerable depth as it reflects on individual deaths in the midst of wholesale war, memory, fear, love and loss.
