Jeremy. “Oh,
James” National
Interest;
Winter2002/2003 Issue 70, p106
This
article discusses the Cold War socio-political climate of the James Bond books
and films. Black notes that the literary James Bond was shone in an atmosphere of a decline in Anglo-American
international relations, in which Bond uses his wits rather than resources to help American allies who
don't always pool their intelligence with their neighbors "across the pond". Black contrasts this characterization with
the cinematic Bond who he says is a "Batmanesque comic book fantasy" character who (in a "deus ex machina" fashion)
unrealistically bails America out of trouble and eases Cold War tensions between the US and USSR (like in "Dr. No" or "You
Only Live Twice").

- This article provides an interesting
description of Ian Fleming’s Jamaican estate. Fleming wrote all of the
James
Bond novels here, so it is interesting to see the environment which
provided
inspiration for the author.
