'An entertaining mix of history, espionage, biography, and post-war sociology' Literary Review

‘I am going to write the spy story to end all spy stories.'

One morning in February 1952, a journalist called Ian Fleming sat down at his desk and set about creating a fictional secret agent. James Bond was born and would go on to become one of the most successful, enduring and lucrative creations in literature. But Bond's world of glamour and romance, gadgets and cocktails, espionage and villainy wasn't entirely drawn from imagination: Fleming's background and his experiences as an intelligence officer during the Second World War were all formative parts in the creation of the world's most famous spy.

Packed with astonishing detail and written in Macintyre's inimitable style, For Your Eyes Only is the most enlightening, enlivening book on the creator of the spy who not only lived twice, but proved to be immortal.©2008 Ben Macintyre (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Arts et littérature Auteurs Divertissement et arts du spectacle Divertissement et célébrités Européenne Films et télévision Journalistes, rédacteurs et éditeurs Littérature du monde

A marvellously entertaining and informative book ... deserves to fly off the shelves every bit as quickly as Devil May Care
Thrilling
Everything that makes Bond interesting with relation to the real world, in fact, is explored here. Ben Macintyre's skill, in this entertaining mix of history, espionage, biography, and post-war sociology, is to make you see clearly where Ian Fleming's world ended and the fantasy of James Bond began (Tom Fleming)
Fleming, a journalist like Macintyre, would have approved of Macintyre's fast, witty and informative style, and this is the perfect starting place for anyone wanting to find out more about Bond and his creator
