Popular British author Philip Gardiner tells the incredible story of how Ian Fleming wrote the James Bond books as his alter-ego. Fleming, a most complex man, was sent to Russia before World War II as a spy. He then became the personal assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence. Fleming went on to prepare an outline for a new American intelligence service, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which would eventually morph into the present-day CIA. Gardiner uncovers Fleming's ties to influential occult leaders of the day and points to Aleister Crowley as the prototype for all of James Bonds's villains.
