This is the biography of one of Britain's best-known but least understood post-war personalities. Sportsman, womaniser, naval commander, traveller, spy - Fleming's successful and often mysterious life inevitably provided the backdrop to his Bond novels, but his own personality was much more complicated than his fictional hero's. Here, Lycett delves deeper into Fleming's character, discovering a more reflective side, far removed from the gung-ho patriotism of his most famous creation, James Bond.
