Ian Fleming's greatest creation, James Bond, has had a profound and lasting impact on our culture, but his life was shrouded in mystery. Fleming's childhood with his gifted brother and extraordinary mother instilled in him a desire to be "the complete man." Only a writer for the last twelve years of his life, Fleming's dramatic personal experiences and career in Naval Intelligence placed him at the center of critical moments in world history, while also providing rich inspiration for his fiction. Nicholas Shakespeare is one of the most gifted biographers working today, and his talent for uncovering new material that casts fresh light on his subjects is fully evident in this masterful, definitive biography. "Elegant and painstakingly researched," according to the Observer, "Marvellous...one of the most engaging portraits of a particular period of British history that I have read in a long time," according to Antonia Fraser. "A book so buoyant and delicious that you feel it will be a friend for life," according to the Telegraph. "Longlisted for the Saltaire Society Literary Award," according to the Saltaire Society Literary Award.
