Ian Fleming's greatest creation, James Bond, has had an enormous impact on our culture. What Bond represents about ideas of masculinity, the British national psyche, and global politics has shifted over time, as has the interpretation of the life of his author.

Nicholas Shakespeare is one of the most gifted biographers working today and his unprecedented access to the Fleming archives and his nose for a story make this a fresh and eye-opening picture of a man who lived his life in the shadow of his famous creation.

The threat to inflict pain, for example, can trigger fears more damaging than the immediate sensation of pain."

In 1985, 1,300 KGB officers were stationed in the USA. The FBI only had 350 counter-intelligence officers.

Ever since the earliest days of the Cold War, American intelligence agencies have launched spies in the sky, implanted spies in the ether, burrowed spies underground, sunk spies in the ocean, and even tried to control spies' minds by chemical means.

Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach investigates how America's technophiles inadvertently created a global espionage empire: one based on technology, not land.

Da chefen for Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste, Lars Findsen, i december 2021 landede i Københavns Lufthavn, blev han anholdt og fængslet for landsskadelig virksomhed. Det var kulminationen på en historisk efterretningsskandale, der går hele vejen til toppen af regeringen, og som også førte til sigtelsen mod tidligere forsvarsminister Claus Hjort Frederiksen. En helt igennem usædvanlig og udansk sag. Men i virkeligheden begyndte den ti år tidligere, længe før Mette Frederiksen blev statsminister.
