Hemingway’s Driver in Wartime France: A Matter of Loyalties
2024
Overview
French Resistance member Jean Decan was Hemingway’s driver and bodyguard during World War II. In late 1945, Decan was denounced as a German collaborator, and both Hemingway and his friend General Buck Lanham wrote in his defense. Decan was found guilty and sentenced to 15 years hard labor, leaving Hemingway furious about his lie. In 1951, Decan appeared at Lanham’s command headquarters, indicating he had betrayed a Resistance teammate in order to save his Jewish family. Lanham enlisted a prominent journalist to help, and the latter would write three books featuring Decan’s moral dilemma, the first one withdrawn over quoting Hemingway’s words.
