For six decades, he wrote novels that came to define our age. The son of a confidence trickster, he spent his childhood between boarding school and the London underworld. At sixteen he found refuge at the University of Bern, then later at Oxford. A spell of teaching at Eton led him to a short career in British Intelligence (MI5 \u0026amp; 6). He published his debut novel, \u003ci\u003eCall for the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1961 while still a secret servant.

At the end of the Cold War, le Carré widened his scope to explore an international landscape including the arms trade and the War on Terror. His memoir, \u003ci\u003eThe Pigeon Tunnel\u003c\/i\u003e, was published in 2016 and the last George Smiley novel, \u003ci\u003eA Legacy of Spies\u003c\/i\u003e, appeared in 2017.
