From Fleming's daring expeditions through Brazil and Central Asia to his wartime service in military intelligence, Hart-Davis chronicles a man whose appetite for danger and discovery was matched only by his gift for writing about it with wit and precision.\n\nHart-Davis draws on intimate access to Fleming's personal papers and the recollections of those who knew him, presenting a portrait that is both meticulously researched and compulsively readable. The biography illuminates the paradox at the heart of Fleming's character — a man of great public bravado who remained intensely private — and raises a tantalising question: how does a man who lived so fully manage to remain so elusive?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130627629275,"sku":"2026200010011-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cbab73a8-fabf-4841-8bf3-e5944d3255eb.png?v=1786587905","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010011-secondhand-peter-fleming-a-biography","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
