Book- James Bond: Inspirations of a Legend

Ian Fleming wrote fourteen Bond books at a rate of 2,000 words per day, during 3-month vacations in Jamaica from 1951-64.

His ability to write at this speed came from exact recollections of individual spy missions he oversaw during W.W. II, when he worked as the Personal Assistant to the British Director of Naval Intelligence.

James Bond: Inspirations of a Legend correlates how the assignments and actions of twenty-four Bond inspirations were used to recreate

fifty-two corresponding passages in all of the twelve Fleming novels,

five short stories, one television script, and four screenplays on which he worked before his death.

All of the research correlates published Bond inspiration documentaries and new millennial website information with Bond novels, short stories, and early films that define the fictional character as perceived

by his creator.
