Description
"To grow up in England in the 1970s was to grow up with James Bond, and The Man Who Saved Britain is, first of all, the story of the author's relationship with this "national religion." Simon Winder lovingly and ruefully re-creates the nadirs and humiliations of fandom while illuminating what Bond's evolution - from books to film, from his roots in the 1940s to his "managed decline" today - says about the conservative movement, sex, the monarchy, food, class, attitudes towards America, and everything in between. The result is an insightful and, above all, entertaining exploration of post-War Britain under the palliative influence of the legendary Agent 007."--BOOK JACKET.
