Description:The
Devil With James Bond! by Ann S. Boyd was an early examination of the
James Bond phenomena. An interesting book and a terrific James Bond
collectible!
Intriguing and fast-paced like the spy thrillers themselves, this new look at Secret Agent 007 will provoke heated dis- cussions among Bond addicts the world over. Ian Fleming said he wrote for fun and money. The Devil with James Bond! contends he made the statement tongue in cheek—and proceeds to reveal that underlying Bond's exploits was a carefully woven plot by Fleming to name and destroy exponents of today's seven deadlier sins, particularly apathy. And Bond is a modern St. George who slays a host of dragons in contemporary guise. It is a fascinating story as Mister Big, Hugo Drax. Doctor No, Goldfinger, and Blofeld (alias Bleuville, alias Shatterhand) are examined for their devilish schemes. Those who have followed Commander Bond on his dangerous missions be- come aware of insights about the world that Fleming had subtly hidden. The final chapter makes a switch from fiction to fact—from Bond to Bonhoeffer and his historic battle against apathy.
