Synopsis
Uses the plots and characterizations in Fleming's novels and the blockbuster films to place James Bond in a historical and political context., The adventures and antics of James Bond have provided the world with many of the most gripping story lines of the last half-century. Fleming's novels were best-sellers in their day, and the Bond films have been even more popular, becoming the most enduring and successful film franchise in history. By some estimates, half of the world's population--billions of people--have seen a James Bond movie, thus viewing an image of global struggle through Western eyes and obtaining a particular perception of Britain and the world. This fascinating and accessible account of the global phenomenon uses the plots and characterizations in the novels and the blockbuster films to place Bond in a historical, cultural, and political context. Black charts and explores how the settings and the dynamics of the Bond adventures have changed over time in response to shifts in the real-world environment in which the fictional Bond operates. Sex, race, class, and violence are each important factors as 007 evolves from Cold Warrior to foe of SPECTRE and eventually to world defender pitted against megalomaniacal foes. The development of Bond, his leading ladies, and the major plots all shed light on world political attitudes and reflect elements of the real espionage history of the period. This look at Bond's world and his lasting legacy offers an intriguing glimpse into both cultural history and popular entertainment.

    The Politics of James Bond

    I have been fascinated by the James Bond legend of sorts for yrs. I read my first book as a sophmore in HS. I eventually plowed thru all of Flemings originals by the summer of my senior yr. It was enlightening to read a socio-political take on these novels. It added depth to the books and showed how as The British Empire faded , Bond & the villians he faced changed. If one enjoys history of the latter half of the 20th Century and does not want an overly intense historical read , this book could be of interest to you.
