Hammett should be known to every American school child.
When WW2 broke out he was one of the most famous authors in the country. As big as Stephen King is today. He was too old to fight, and would have been rejected for the Army because he'd been gassed in WW1.
He got into the Army, even though he had to have all his teeth pulled out.
Later he would be sent to prison for not naming names during the McCarthy Era.
