This review is from: Historical Dictionary of Ian Fleming's World of Intelligence: Fact and Fiction (Historical Dictionaries of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence) (Hardcover)
A rather strange (and not inexpensive) book. It is an incomplete mixture of Fleming's life, his family, the Bond books and characters as these things supposedly interrelate with real life spying and espionage events. There are some errors of fact (eg. the year of death of Hugh Gaitskell) along with a very long (15 pages) and totally out of place essay on the fictional character Mark Chalmers. I am still hoping for the day when someone can do justice to the books and produce an authoritative and definitive encyclopaedia.
