A Look Back At The 30 Assault Unit, The British WWII Commando Group Created By Royal Navy Commander Ian Fleming, The Creator Of James Bond

Back in 2011 Counterterrorism magazine ran my piece on Ian Fleming and the British commando group he created in World War II.

Before he sat down at his desk at his Jamaican villa Goldeneye in 1952 and wrote the classic James Bond thrillers, Ian Fleming served as a Royal Navy intelligence officer during World War II.

Commander Fleming served as the personal assistant to the Director of British Royal Naval Intelligence and one of Fleming's accomplishments during the war was the creation of a naval intelligence-commando group called the 30 Assault Unit.
