Profile

Summary:

This is the TRUE story of Ian Fleming in the crucial years that gave him the inspiration for the Bond character. Ian Fleming, years before he wrote the Bond books, floundered in the shadow of his family name. Likable, but lost, he was nothing more than an old world Etonian, a well mannered, well read playboy.Then came World War II, and for the first time in his life he found a channel for his creative genius. His until now barely known experiences during this period would eventually serve as the foundation for what would become the most popular and well know spy franchise in history. Ian Fleming was in fact James Bond – or rather – James Bond was Ian Fleming.

Reviews:

“As good as any Bond novels, it proves that facts can be equally as fascinating as any fiction”

“Andrew Lycett’s direct access to Fleming’s family, friends and contemporaries has enabled him to reveal the truth behind the complicated facade of this enigmatic and remarkable man. With an extraordinary cast of characters, this is biography at is best – part history, part gossip and part an informed reassessment of one of this century’s most celebrated yet mysterious personalities.”
