This book analyses the gender roles and political contexts of spy
fiction narratives published during the years of the Cold War. It
offers an introduction to the development of spy fiction both in
England and in the United States and explores the ways in which
issues such as the atomic bomb, double agents, paranoia, propaganda
and megalomania manifest themselves within the genre. The book
examines the ongoing marginalization of women within spy fiction
texts, exploring the idea that this unique period in global history
is responsible for the active promotion and celebration of
masculinity and male superiority. From James Bond to Jason Bourne,
the book evaluates the ongoing enforcement of patriarchal ideas and
oppressions that, in the name of national security and patriotic
duty, have contributed to the development of a genre in which
discrimination and bias continue to dominate.
