520 A unique insight into how Ian Fleming created by
inspiration—and sometimes plagiarism—the legend of James
Bond The book centers on Ian Fleming the man, his
contradictions, and his public and private personality. It
examines the man behind the myth and how in particular he
managed (unsuccessfully at first) to create a film
franchise that has lasted over fifty years. It considers
Fleming's reputation as a writer, the "formula method" he
perfected and the formula's reliance on the recycling of
real individuals and events as well as the occasional
reliance on plagiarism. It uniquely accesses a number of
closed and recently opened government files that shed
light on previously unknown wartime operations such as the
Air Ministry's top secret "Operation Grand Slam", which
was used in Goldfinger.
