W. Somerset Maugham was a British author who served as a spy for the secret intelligence organization and was charged with preventing the Russians from withdrawing from World War I.
William Somerset Maugham was an English author best known for his plays, novels, and short stories. After completing his schooling in England, Maugham studied at a university in Germany. As a child of ten, he spent his formative years in Paris. After deciding to pursue a career in medicine, he moved to London and enrolled in the University of London, where he graduated in 1897. Rather than continue his medical career, he decided to devote himself entirely to writing. Although he gained some notoriety with his first novel, Liza of Lambeth (1897), a look at slum life, he became a household name as a playwright. Already in 1908, he had four plays performing on London's West End. During World War One, Maugham was a member of the British Secret Service.
