James Bond: The Authorized Biography of 007

About “James Bond: The Authorized Biography of 007”

John Pearson wrote an authorised biography of Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond. Initially, he believed James Bond was purely fictional, but he began to doubt this after his first encounter with the character's description. His suspicions grew so much that the British secret service tried to discourage him. Despite this, he became convinced that James Bond was real and still alive. Due to a shift in secret service policy, Pearson was invited to write a companion book. This book became an extraordinary biography of a myth, an official account of James Bond.
