About this product

Product Information

In 1953 Ian Fleming's literary sensation James Bond emerged onto the world's stage. Nearly seven decades later he has become a multi-billion-pound film franchise, now equipped with all the gizmos of the modern world. Yet Fleming's creation that battled his way through the fourteen Bond novels, from 1953-1966, was a maverick, a man out of place. Bond even admits it, wishing he was back in the real war... the Second World War. Indeed, the thread of the Second World War runs through all the Bond books, and many were inspired by the real events and people Ian Fleming came across during his time in Naval Intelligence. In Fleming's 007, Mark Simmons explores these remarkable similarities. For example, Thunderball has a clear link to Operation Ruthless, Fleming's scheme to capture a German naval code book desperately wanted by the boffins at Bletchley Park. Also, the exploits of 30 Assault Unit, the commando team he helped to create, provided the inspiration for Moonraker. Both of these examples and many more are explored in this unique book. AUTHOR: Mark Simmons comes from a family with a long tradition of service in the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. He has written some 200 feature articles mainly on naval and military, motoring and travel subjects for publications in the UK and USA, and has written eleven books, both fiction and non-fiction. 20 b/w illustrations

    Book is brand new and in excellent condition but NOT what I ordered or what is stated in the advert! (Please see attached photos. Book was posted and received promptly, but the book I ordered states clearly it’s the ‘Hardback’ edition. What I got was the paperback edition. I ordered a hardback copy for a reason feel and like I’ve been deceived (how many others I wonder?). Misleading advertising or genuine mistake? On this occasion I’ll give ‘bookwanderers’ the benefit of doubt.

    Initially there was an issue with my purchase because of an error of my home address & my books went to a different address🤦🏻‍♂️. After contacting the team @ bookwanderers they informed me they were going to send me the books I ordered to my actual address although they were NOT at fault in any of this! I can’t express my gratitude enough & these books are exactly what I expected! Thank you sooo much bookwanderers. I will tell many about your store & my great result with you. Thanks again
