As I've noted here before, I also interviewed Nicholas Rankin for a piece on Ian Fleming for Counterterrorism magazine. I also interviewed Craig Cabell, the author of a previous book on Ian Fleming's wartime commandos, The History of the 30 Assault Unit: Ian Fleming's Red Indians (Pen & Sword), for the magazine article.

I'll post the magazine piece here when it comes out.

Before James Bond: A New Book On Ian Fleming's World War II Commandos

MI6 - the James Bond web site, not the British Secret Intelligence Service - announced the publication of a new book about Ian Fleming's wartime experiences in British Naval Intelligence and his creation of an elite group of naval intelligence-commandos called the 30 Assault Unit.
