Eric Ambler’s anthology work includes To Catch a Spy (1966), which he edited, and The Man Who… (1992). Both collections reflect his standing in the espionage fiction genre.

To Catch a Spy brought together spy fiction from multiple authors under Ambler’s editorial eye. He was well positioned to curate such a collection, given that his own novels from the 1930s and 1940s had shaped the genre before John le Carre and Len Deighton came along.

The Man Who… appeared more than two decades later, near the end of Ambler’s life. The long gap between the two anthologies mirrors the spread of his novel-writing career, which ran from 1936 to 1981.
