From Goodreads:
First published in 1959, Our Man in Havana is an espionage thriller, a penetrating character study, and a political satire that still resonates today. Conceived as one of Graham Greene's 'entertainments,' it tells of MI6's man in Havana, Wormold, a former vacuum-cleaner salesman turned reluctant secret agent out of economic necessity. To keep his job, he files bogus reports based on Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare and dreams up military installations from vacuum-cleaner designs. Then his stories start coming disturbingly true.

I suggest you ask for a refund for this nomination as it is only available as an eBook in the UK and because of this, it won't stand a chance of winning.
It does sound like an interesting book and I would have voted for it, but as I cannot get it as as an eBook in the US, I cannot vote for it.
