Felix Greene (21 May 1909—June 15, 1985) was a British-American journalist who chronicled several Communist countries in the 1960s and 1970s. He was one of the first Western reporters to visit North Vietnam when he traveled there for the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' in the 1960s. Some of his material has been reproduced for A-Level history, within the Vietnam War topic. Born in England, Greene first visited China for the BBC in 1957. He later produced documentary films, including ''One Man's China,'' ''Tibet,'' ''Cuba va!,'', ''Vietnam! Vietnam!'' and ''Inside North Viet Nam''. These films have been accused of giving a very rosy and one-sided view of Communist society.〔(''HYPOCRISY IN THE "PEACE" MOVEMENT: A CASE STUDY'' by Chris R. Tame ), 1983/1990, Foreign Policy Perspectives No. 16, ISBN 1-870614-00-3〕 Some have argued that Greene purposely hid negative information about the extent of starvation in China.〔http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444180004578015170039623486.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_MIDDLESecondBucket〕 He can be seen as a ''Fellow traveler''.〔(''How America Was Misinformed About China'', Far East Economic Review, August 29th, 2007 )〕 In the 1970s, Felix Greene came to in Dharamsala to visit the 14th Dalai Lama who recalled that after 3 days of discussion, Greene's attitude had changed.〔(His Holiness the Dalai Lama in New York, NY - May 22, 2010 )〕 Greene was a cousin of the author Graham Greene. He lived in the San Francisco area for twenty years. He died in Mexico of cancer. ==Books== * ''The Enemy: What Every American Should Know About Imperialism''.
