This is a critical history of spy fiction, film and television in
the United States, with a particular focus on the American
fictional spies that rivaled (and were often influenced by) Ian
Fleming's James Bond. James Fenimore Cooper's Harvey Birch, based
on a real-life counterpart, appeared in his novel The Spy in 1821.
While Harvey Birch's British rivals dominated spy fiction from the
late 1800s until the mid-1930s, American spy fiction came of age
shortly thereafter. The spy boom in novels and films during the
1960s, spearheaded by Bond, heavily influenced the espionage genre
in the United States for years to come, including series like The
Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Matt Helm. The author demonstrates that,
while American authors currently dominate the international spy
fiction market, James Bond has cast a very long shadow, for a very
long time.
