The Man Who Saved Britain

After victory in World War II, Britain was a relieved but also a profoundly traumatized country. Simon Winder, born into this nation of uncertain identity, fell in love (as many before and since) with the man created as the antidote, a quintessentially British figure of great cultural significance: James Bond. Written with passion, wit and a great deal of personal insight and affection, this book is his wildly amusing attempt to get to grips with Bond`s legacy and the difficult decades in which it really mattered. `A more entertaining tour of 007, and the period associations that get sucked into Winder`s great comic intelligence, is hard to imagine` London Review of Books `Diversions for the general reader and delights for the Bond enthusiast` Sunday Times `A delightfully quirky, immediately engaging book` Scotland on Sunday
