About this product
Product Information
A fresh portrait of the man behind James Bond, and his enduring impact, by an award-winning biographer with unprecedented access to the Fleming family papers. Ian Fleming's greatest creation, James Bond, has had an enormous and ongoing impact on our culture. What Bond represents about ideas of masculinity, the British national psyche and global politics has shifted over time, as has the interpretation of the life of his author. But Fleming himself was more mysterious and subtle than anything he wrote. Ian's childhood with his gifted brother Peter and his extraordinary mother set the pattern for his ambition to be "the complete man," and he would strive for the means to achieve this "completeness'"all his life. Only a thriller writer for his last twelve years, his dramatic personal life and impressive career in Naval Intelligence put him at the heart of critical moments in world history, while also providing rich inspiration for his fiction. Exceptionally well connected, and widely travelled, from the United States and Soviet Russia to his beloved Jamaica, Ian had access to the most powerful political figures at a time of profound change. Nicholas Shakespeare is one of the most gifted biographers working today. His talent for uncovering material that casts new light on his subjects is fully evident in this masterful, definitive biography. His unprecedented access to the Fleming archive and his nose for a story make this a fresh and eye-opening picture of the man and his famous creation.

Reviews
"This is a marvellous book about Ian Fleming, but it's also one of the most engaging portraits of a particular period of British history that I have read in a long time." -- Antonia Fraser "A book so buoyant and delicious that you feel it will be a friend for life." -- Telegraph "This excellent biography is as worldly and clever as one could wish." -- Spectator "Elegant and painstakingly researched." -- The Observer "A monumental record of Fleming's life. The completeness of the book is beyond doubt. Shakespeare leaves no future biographer much to discover. Fleming's place in history is assured." -- Sunday Times (London) "A sustained and engrossing homage to the Olympic icon of a beleaguered Britain, and a writer damned to fame. With scarcely a dull page, it's a chip off the old block . . . . steeped in exceptional research . . . . stitches up the loose ends of Fleming's story into a satisfying 21st-century biography." -- The Independent "A definitive biography that deepens and reshapes previous versions of Fleming's life . . . . light-footed and swift-moving despite its copious research . . . . Shakespeare's Fleming rises from these richly textured pages as a more substantial and sympathetic figure than the preening snob of myth." -- Financial Times "Ian Fleming: The Complete Man is packed with women, their characters and stories carefully filled in . . . . highly accomplished and readable." -- New Statesman "The most comprehensive picture yet of Bond's creator . . . . Definitive." -- The Economist "Fascinating, well researched, neatly written." -- Literary Review "Shakespeare has the rare ability to reinvigorate subjects that had seemed exhausted. If, like me, you thought you knew all there was to be known about Ian Fleming, prepare for a surprise . . . . Written with such brio that the pace never slackens." -- Adam Sisman "What a masterful and definitive study this is, enhanced by a novelist's skill in making it so eminently readable and page-turning. I learned a great deal that I did not know. It is compulsively absorbing." -- David Stafford
