The war made fast friends of the two writers, and Fleming would go on to immortalise Harling in his hugely popular Bond novels <i>Thunderball</i> and <i>The Spy Who Loved Me</i>.</p> <p>Yet beneath the pair's charm, charisma and creativity was an altogether darker reality. Documenting in vivid detail his private exchanges with Fleming, Harling exposes the personality behind his protagonist - one tempered by debilitating bouts of depression and a deep-rooted distrust of women.</p> <p>This extraordinary memoir provides a fascinating and unprecedented insight into the mind of the creator of James Bond - from one of those who knew him best.</p>
