Nicholas Reynolds (photo) was part of a panel on Ernest Hemingway along with Paul Hendrickson and Mary Dearborn at the 17th annual Library of Congress National Book Festival at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C. on Saturday, September 2, 2017. Nicholas Reynolds is a historian of modern military history and intelligence. He received his doctorate in history from Oxford University and then joined the Marine Corps in the 1970s, serving as an infantry officer and then as a historian. As a colonel in the reserves, he eventually became officer in charge of field history. When not on duty with the Marine Corps, he served as a CIA officer, most recently as the historian for the CIA Museum. He currently teaches as an adjunct professor for Johns Hopkins University. Prompted by clues he uncovered as historian for the CIA Museum, his book "Writer, Sailor, Soldier, Spy: Ernest Hemingway's Secret Adventures, 1935-1961" details the strength of Hemingway's relationship with espionage and the role it played in his literary work.
