Ian Fleming's Secret War - By Craig Cabell
Official Blurb
While his extravagant and glamorous lifestyle is well
known, little has been published concerning Ian
Fleming's contribution during the Second World War.
In the very early
days of the War, Fleming was earmarked by the Director
of Naval Intelligence as his 'right hand man'. From the
outset he was in the centre of events, meeting with key
political and military figures as well as those of exceptional
intelligence, experience and courage. All this was to
give him invaluable background when he came to write the
Bond
novels. The author has uncovered through official documentation,
private papers and contacts the depth of Fleming's work
in Naval Intelligence. Fascinating insights of those he
worked with and details of covert trips to Europe and North
Africa emerge.
Fleming was closely associated with 30 Assault
Unit, a crack team of Commandos who took the fight to
the enemy. The book reveals both the history of 30 AU
and Fleming's role.

Additional Intel
Author Craig Cabell revealed more about the book to MI6: "I cover
the whole
of Fleming's career in NID, taking in Operations
Ruthless and Goldeneye, Fleming's trips to America and his possible
involvement with Dennis Wheatley in another secret operation.
The
book includes chapters about Casino
Royale and Moonraker (with
reference to Fleming's work in NID) and a very complete collector's
guide, which some top antiquarian book dealers have found very
useful
already."
Craig Cabell is a journalist and author. His works include,
in addition to Frederick Forsyth - A Matter of Protocol, The
Kray Brothers, Dennis Wheatley - Churchill's Storyteller and
VE Day - A Day to Remember.
