Twelve novels and nine short stories define one of the most
extraordinary fictional characters of all time, creating the basis
for the most successful movie series in cinematographic history,
watched by more than half the world's population. The single person
probably more responsible than any other for glamorizing the murky
world of espionage is Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, who
himself lived a remarkable double life of spy and writer. Everyone
has an opinion on why 007 became so successful, but one possible
explanation is the ingenious formula of fact, fiction, and sheer
fantasy. Certainly the author drew on friends and places he knew
well to provide the backdrop for his drama, but what proportion of
his output is authentic, and what comes directly from the author's
imagination? These questions and more are examined in the
Historical Dictionary of Ian Fleming's World of Intelligence: Fact
and Fiction. This is done through a chronology, an introduction, a
bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries
on actual cases of espionage, real-life spies, MI5, SIS, CIA, KGB,
and others. It also contains entries on Ian Fleming's novels and
short stories, family and friends, his employers and colleagues,
and other notable characters.
