Picture this: a mysterious figure dressed in a black tuxedo. He orders his drink "shaken, not stirred," and within moments, he's chasing villains through the city streets, dodging danger at every turn. He goes by the codename 007. But maybe you've heard his full name: it's Bond. James Bond. This is the tale of Ian Fleming, the secret missions that inspired him, and the real James Bond.
