Ian Fleming
by Andrew Lycett
Buy on AmazonSportsman, womanizer, naval commander, world-traveler, spy, the suave Old Etonian creator of the Cold War's archetypal secret agent was infinitely more complicated and interesting than his major fictional character, Agent 007, as Lycett shows in this full-length biography of Ian Fleming.

"As I mentioned before, a lot more has come out about what Fleming did during World War II. So there’s a lot about that in the new biography. Shakespeare’s thrust in the book is that even if Fleming had never written James Bond, he would still have been a fascinating, interesting and important character because of what he did during the war. Both biographies are saying, ‘There’s a lot more to Ian Fleming than just James Bond’—which is perfectly valid."
